Texas Children’s Hospital adopts Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite to enhance efficiency

Texas Children’s Hospital, the nation’s biggest children’s hospital, has integrated the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite to enhance its operations and further its mission to improve health outcomes for children and women globally.

This transition has allowed the hospital to combine seven business systems onto one unified platform, thereby improving employee recruitment and retention, increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and allowing staff to allocate more time to patient care.

Texas Children’s Hospital, a renowned pediatric and women’s healthcare organization, required a streamlined solution to handle its growing operational demands and enable its staff and clinicians to focus more on patient care. After a thorough evaluation, the hospital decided to transition finance, HR, and supply chain processes to the cloud using Oracle Fusion Applications.

“Our previous systems required a lot of manual effort to use and maintain and this was becoming an unsustainable burden on our employees,” said Myra Davis, executive vice president and chief information innovation officer, Texas Children’s Hospital. “With Oracle Fusion Applications, we’ve been able to streamline and automate business processes and this allows our staff and clinicians to spend more time with patients. Oracle provided hands-on support during implementation to ensure we rapidly gained value from our new system, and we continue to benefit from quarterly updates that enable us to constantly improve productivity.”

The integration of Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Enterprise Planning Management (EPM), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM), which was overseen by Oracle Consulting, has facilitated the hospital to break down organizational barriers, standardize processes, and manage finance, planning, HR, and supply chain operations on a single platform.

Steve Miranda, executive vice president of applications development at Oracle, highlighted the role of their solutions in the healthcare industry: “With Oracle Fusion Applications, Texas Children’s Hospital has been able to increase visibility into its business and reduce the administrative burden on its employees. With Oracle’s complete suite of healthcare-focused solutions, we are committed to solving the healthcare industry’s biggest challenges and helping customers find new efficiencies, drive down costs, and continually improve patient outcomes.”
