Preface

Oracle Health Sciences Network (HSN) is a new SaaS services offering for both healthcare providers and pharmaceutical customer organizations. It brings together multiple customer organizations under a single cloud-based and Oracle-hosted business network, thus allowing them to exchange information and/or business services using HSN applications such as Protocol Validator and Patient Recruiter (PVPR).

HSN consists of two components: Patient Validator and Patient Recruiter (PVPR), and Platform.

Audience

This document is intended for users (having knowledge of WebLogic server administration and database administration) who want to install HSN applications.
