Nashville General Hospital (NGH), Middle Tennessee’s public safety-net hospital serving Davidson County and Nashville, Tennessee, is using Oracle Health CommunityWorks to better support its clinical, financial, and operational needs.

Unifying its clinical operations with the new centralized and integrated electronic health records (EHR) across the 150-bed hospital and more than 20 outpatient and clinic settings enables NGH to automate several manual processes and replace disparate legacy systems and devices, simplifying the clinician and patient experience. Oracle Health CommunityWorks also offers a foundation that can scale as NGH grows and adopts new technologies, such as Oracle Health Data Intelligence and Oracle Clinical Trial Management System.

«We chose Oracle Health because it offered a more complete and integrated solution versus the other options we considered,» said Melanie Thomas, chief information officer, Nashville General Hospital. «We are replacing several disparate systems that required redundant data entry, disrupted our operations during upgrades, and lacked integration between our inpatient and ambulatory systems. These challenges are now solved with Oracle Health, and it will help us achieve one patient, one record across our facilities. When reviewing all vendor options, we wanted our employees to have a say in the selection. Oracle Health always ranked high across users and teams, and the go live has gone smoothly.»
