Introduction

This topic provides an introduction to Oracle Health Clinical Data Exchange and the functionality that it offers.

Oracle Health Clinical Data Exchange allows healthcare providers to automate the sharing of patients' medical records with payers for healthcare payment and operations activities. Oracle Health Clinical Data Exchange is built in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and it uses industry-standard communication standards, including FHIR, to securely send and receive electronic health record information.

Oracle Health Clinical Data Exchange delivers clinical event notifications, such as notifications of admit and discharge (ADT) messages and clinical data in the form of Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) documents. These event notifications and clinical data are delivered to connected payers in accordance with data access controls configured by the providers and the data-retrieval workflows implemented by the payers.

The system allows payers to provide a notification delivery endpoint for receiving event notifications and create a document query endpoint to retrieve C-CDA documents for matched members.

Oracle Health Clinical Data Exchange uses built-in Master Patient Index (MPI) and Record Locator Service (RLS) to match patients and locate their records across all electronic health record (EHR) environments that are connected to the network.
