Oracle Health chair says Cerner isn’t competing with Epic

Cerner may have ceded U.S. business to reigning electronic health records market leader Epic Systems, but new owner Oracle plans to close the gap with cloud services from supply chain management to claims processing, a top Oracle Health executive tells STAT.

But Cerner could still come out on top by selling cloud services that link up to competitors’ health records software, Oracle Health chairman David Feinberg told STAT.
