Arkansas Heart Hospital is implementing Oracle Health EHR and patient accounting solutions across its network of ambulatory clinics and two hospitals to drive interoperability.

"Oracle shares our commitment to transforming healthcare for the betterment of patients, staff, and the communities we serve," Murphy added. "By extending Oracle technology across our organization, we are putting information into the hands of our staff that is vital for the care of our patients in moments where every second counts."
