Learning Health Network

A research network powered by unified global data.

The Impact of Real-World Data and Cloud Technology on Clinical Research and Health Outcomes

What is the Oracle Learning Health Network?

The Oracle Learning Health Network is where providers and researchers can access and share robust, anonymized data to recruit patients, identify health patterns, and develop innovative treatments. With a network of more than 100 diverse health systems, we’re accelerating the discovery, development, and deployment of groundbreaking therapies.

  • Accelerate clinical research innovation by fostering network member collaboration and enhanced visibility into sponsor-led trial opportunities. This dynamic approach integrates real-time clinical data, enabling faster patient identification and streamlined study enrollment processes. Advance your research strategies, improve trial outcomes, expedite the development of novel therapies, and position your organization at the forefront of the industry.

  • Advanced, data-driven clinical insights are revolutionizing healthcare, optimizing care delivery to improve patient experiences and health outcomes. These insights help accelerate patient recruitment for clinical trials, streamlining the research process and enabling faster treatment development. Supported by AI and machine learning (AI/ML), these insights can empower healthcare providers and researchers to make informed decisions, driving progress in medical science and promoting equitable, high-quality care for all.

  • The Oracle Learning Health Network benefits many life sciences and healthcare organizations by enabling monetization and value creation through a vast, de-identified real-world data ecosystem. Members can generate revenue by participating in funded clinical trials and research collaborations with pharmaceutical and device companies, while also reducing costs through streamlined data management.

    Our learning health network can create value by accelerating research and innovation, improving patient outcomes via actionable insights, retaining patients within the network, and enhancing members’ reputations as leaders in data-driven care. This is all supported by Oracle’s AI-powered Health Data Intelligence platform and a client-led governance model that helps ensure privacy and ease of participation.

Oracle Learning Health Network: US map

Partnership between Oracle and 143* US-based health systems aimed to fuel innovation in life sciences and enhance patient care

Diverse network representing more than 65,000+ hospital beds and 3,692 facilities in 45 states and Washington, DC

Access to one of the world’s largest data sets, Oracle EHR Real-World Data, and analytical tools to drive therapeutic discovery and development

Diverse data set reflects US population, helping instill confidence in trial results, efficacy, adverse events, etc.

“We see a lot of value working with the Oracle EHR Real-World Data because there are rural organizations, safety net hospitals, for-profit entities, non-profit entities—all of which are represented in this merged data. We also find value in working with this data because it’s been aggregated over nearly two decades, so we can also look at changes over time.”

Mark Hoffman, PhD Chief Research Information Officer, Children’s Mercy

Comprehensive security and data governance

Safety and security

Data is fully de-identified and protected to the highest standards, helping mitigate risks associated with data breaches.

Health system and provider protection

Sites are anonymized with all provider identifiers removed.

Non-exclusive data rights

Joining the LHN does not limit how health systems deploy their own data for other use cases to support and care for their communities.

Oracle EHR Real-World Data includes**:

57B+clinical results2
809M+condition encounters3

*LHN member data current as of May 29, 2024.
1: Urban/rural designation derived from CMS.gov data source, 2015 Q4.
**All data pulled from Oracle Health Data Intelligence and current as of June 2024.
2: Calculated using distinct person IDs, which leverage a multipoint match algorithm to account for and remove duplicates within a single health system; patients who have visited multiple health systems may appear more than once in the data.
3: Number of patient visits (encounters) that include at least one condition or medication.
4: Each number of individual clinical results, procedures, or immunizations are counted.
5: Clinical results comprises individual labs, clinical events, and measurements captured during a patient's visit (encounter).
