Saint Joseph’s Medical Center will extend the use of Oracle Health’s electronic health record (EHR) and RevElate Patient Accounting across all its locations. The move is designed to provide consistent patient health records, increase efficiency in patient accounting, and provide patients with a single portal to access all their health data. Standardizing to a single EHR is intended to enhance interoperability and care coordination. The move is expected to reduce repetitive, time-consuming processes in the front and back offices, enabling staff to make more informed care decisions.
Saint Joseph’s Medical Center has announced that it is extending its use of Oracle Health’s electronic health record (EHR) and RevElate Patient Accounting across all its locations. This move will enable the health network to consolidate multiple disconnected systems, provide consistency in patient health records across all its hospitals and ambulatory care facilities, and increase efficiency in the patient accounting process. Additionally, it will provide patients with a single, intuitive portal to access all their health data.
Saint Joseph’s Medical Center is a 332-bed and 12-clinic health system that spans Westchester County, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. By standardizing the Cerner Millennium EHR and RevElate, the medical center can consolidate disparate systems and processes, enabling its clinicians, staff, and patients to access the right data at the right time to make better decisions.
“Standardizing on Cerner Millennium EHR and RevElate allows us to consolidate disparate systems and processes, giving our clinicians, staff, and patients access to the right data at the right time to make better decisions,” said Michael Spicer, president, and CEO of Saint Joseph’s Medical Center.
The adoption of the EHR and RevElate is expected to improve care team coordination, enhance interoperability, and strengthen patient care continuity across the system. This move will also reduce repetitive, time-consuming processes in the front and back offices, allowing clinicians and staff to make more informed care decisions.
“Reducing cost and complexity while helping to improve care at health systems like Saint Joseph’s Medical Center is at the core of Oracle’s healthcare mission,” said Travis Dalton, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Health.
By automating their entire billing process, the adoption of RevElate will bring together a unified view of clinical and financial information, providing Saint Joseph’s Medical Center with better visibility into patient activity and accounts.
“Together, with our customers and industry partners, we can accelerate innovation across the industry to create a more connected, better-informed, and easier-to-navigate healthcare system that identifies social determinants of health and improves care equity and outcomes,” added Dalton.
Saint Joseph’s Medical Center has been serving Yonkers and the surrounding communities of Westchester and New York City since 1888. The medical center offers patient-centered, quality-focused inpatient and outpatient care, including specialized programs such as orthopedics, cardiology, family medicine, geriatrics, wound care, advanced emergency treatment, state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging and ambulatory surgery, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services, and a network of primary care services serving Westchester, The Bronx, and Manhattan. Its Saint Vincent’s Hospital Westchester division in Harrison offers a comprehensive range of mental health, addiction, and residential programs serving Westchester, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.
The adoption of Oracle Health’s EHR and RevElate Patient Accounting across all its locations will help Saint Joseph’s Medical Center further its mission of providing high-quality, patient-centered care to the communities it serves.
