College Hospital London in Dubai selects Oracle Cerner hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

King’s College Hospital London – Dubai announced a strategic collaboration to help accelerate innovation with Oracle Cerner. As part of the agreement, Oracle Cerner will utilise Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services via the Oracle Cloud Dubai Region to operate and manage the upgraded and enhanced electronic medical records system on behalf of KCH Dubai.

This will be the first UAE-based cloud deployment by Oracle Cerner in the region. It has the potential to support more than 10,000 concurrent users and will create a new care delivery model that can provide real-time coordination and information exchange among multiple providers, patients, and locations in the country.

The Oracle Cloud Dubai Region will assist

KCH Dubai in driving new advancements and boosting efficiencies by helping reduce its operational and financial obligations. The advancements will cover computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, mobile services, and more. The transition to Oracle Cerner’s cloud solution is also expected to reduce the hospital’s IT expenditure and regain valuable datacentre space at its facilities.

Additional return on investments includes improved system availability with increased service level protection, managed spending on hardware upgrades, storage, servers, and licenses as well as proactive monitoring and management of the system. Oracle Cerner will own security and technology elements pertaining to the datacentre, network, and patching the system. This will facilitate the hospital’s expansion plans as more assets will join its integrated healthcare network.
