Patient data would be anonymous until individuals give consent to share their information. \u201cWe\u2019re building a system where all American citizens\u2019 health records not only exist at the hospital level, but they also are in a unified national health records database,\u201d Ellison said<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ellison outlined the well-trodden problems with the US\u2019s healthcare data systems: patient information is siloed off within individual institutions. That makes it hard for doctors to get information about their patients when they\u2019re treated at other institutions. It also makes it difficult for research teams to do studies on large groups of people; they\u2019re often limited to the patient information at the place where they work, so it\u2019s hard for them to tell if their conclusions would apply to people at other health centers<\/a>. <\/p>\n But, despite Ellison\u2019s sweeping promises, Oracle will likely face an uphill battle to make the vision a reality. Health IT experts<\/a> tweeted<\/a> skepticism<\/a> in the wake of the announcement. Experts in health technology and the federal government have spent years, if not decades, trying to make it easier for health records held at different institutions to communicate with each other. A National Institutes of Health program was able to build an anonymous, centralized records database for COVID-19 research in 2020<\/a>, but that took enormous effort from people who already worked on interoperability issues \u2014 and it was anonymous and didn\u2019t require navigating patient consent. <\/p>\n
