Oracle Health’s clinical artificial intelligence agent is now available for nurses in the U.S., roughly two years after the tool launched first for physicians, the company announced Monday.

For doctors, the AI agent works autonomously to draft clinical notes, propose follow-up lab tests and generate discharge summaries. Oracle tacked on new capabilities in August, adding chart review assistance, dictation and automated coding.

The tool works similarly for nurses, but with role-specific considerations, Oracle says. Nurses can use voice commands to search for and navigate patient charts and generate nursing summaries to limit administrative work.

"Nurses are the heart of patient care, yet too much of their day is spent on manual repetitive work, searching for information, documenting care, and coordinating across the care team,” Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager at Oracle Health and Life Sciences, said in a press release.

The tech is embedded in Oracle’s electronic health record system, and existing clinical AI agent customers will have access to it immediately.

Oracle says its goal is to alleviate administrative burden for nurses with the tool.

Despite being among the primary users of clinical systems, nurses are often left out of the AI conversation. It has led to lower AI adoption rates compared with doctors — 41% of nurses surveyed say their views are rarely reflected in AI decision-making. The same share say they use AI regularly, compared with 57% of physicians.

Now, several years into the AI craze, health systems are experimenting with AI tools for nurses.

Oracle’s agent expansion follows a string of other AI initiatives by the company. Last year, it launched an AI-backed EHR, available to ambulatory providers in the U.S., with plans to launch it in the acute care market this year. In August, Oracle made its AI-powered patient portal generally available in the U.S.
