Oracle (Cerner) falls even further behind Epic, and its new AI-powered EHR is only going to make things worse for them. Yesterday, a new KLAS report dropped an expected bombshell: Oracle Health lost 57 hospitals in 3 years as clients fled to other platforms (mostly to Epic). Meanwhile, Epic has surged ahead, now serving 42% of U.S. acute-care hospitals (nearly double Oracle’s 23%). Oracle is betting on a new AI-powered EHR (whatever that means) to regain ground. But here’s the reality: healthcare isn’t a bleeding-edge industry when it comes to tech adoption. Doctors and patients are cautious. At Callen-Lorde, when we rolled out Abridge’s AI scribe, we had some providers opt out, not because it didn’t work, but because they weren’t comfortable with AI in their exam rooms. Some patients and staff also voiced concerns. In an LGBTQ+ community where many have experienced trauma and are also highly informed, that skepticism is totally understandable even if I don’t fully agree with it. This isn’t just Oracle’s challenge, it’s every healthtech innovator’s. The question isn’t “Can AI do it?” but “Will patients and providers trust it enough to use it?” This Epic-versus-Oracle saga is also a litmus test for digital health innovation and trust. If a tech giant like Oracle can stumble after a $28B bet on Cerner, what does it say about the future of big tech in healthcare? https://lnkd.in/gamejC48

Disparate EHRs. Different data standards. Multiple vendors. These challenges make clinical data exchange harder than it should be. At #RISENational2026, MRO will be sharing how organizations simplify data exchange and improve data accessibility across the healthcare ecosystem.
