CIO Podcast - Episode 108: Implementing Oracle with Michael Archuleta

For the 108th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Michael Archuleta, CIO at Mt. San Rafael Hospital and Clinics, to talk about their decision to select and implement Oracle! Mt. San Rafael Hospital and Clinics recently changed their EHR, so we kick this episode off by discussing the process they went through to select a new EHR. Then we talk about the key things that led them to their decision to go with Oracle Health and their new Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent. Next, we discuss whether IT or clinical was the driving desire for AI. We then dive deeper into what implementing Oracle looks like by discussing the timeline and what Archuleta is doing to ensure it’s a success. Moving outside of the EHR, we discuss the other areas Archuleta is working on or keeping an eye on and why. Next, Archuleta gives his input on different critical access hospital IT efforts that others may not appreciate. Lastly, Archuleta passes along the best piece of advice he’s been given in his career. Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode: You recently decided to change EHRs, tell me about the process you went through to select a new EHR.
