Understanding New Technologies for Oracle® Health’s Cerner-based Surgical Teams

In an era of rapid technological advancement, surgical teams must leverage cutting-edge tools and practices to enhance patient care and operational efficiency while navigating the challenges of electronic health records. This webinar explores essential technologies for modern Oracle Health Cerner-based surgical teams, focusing on Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions and cybersecurity measures in healthcare settings.

We’ll examine how cloud-based SaaS platforms optimize surgical capacity, increase case volume, and boost surgeon and staff satisfaction in resource-constrained environments. The webinar will cover critical aspects of successful surgical scheduling, including planning, team communication, patient safety, and data management. Given the sensitive nature of medical information, we’ll also address the latest cybersecurity threats facing healthcare institutions and provide an overview of best practices for protecting patient data and maintaining HIPAA compliance. Key topics will include secure data storage, encryption methods, and staff training for cybersecurity awareness.
