Will Oracle’s AI Approach be the Catalyst for Technology Adoption in Healthcare? Seema Verma, Oracle x SCALE Community

Summary
AI, cloud technology, and open data ecosystems are redefining how healthcare operates. Oracle Health’s Seema Verma shares how innovation and interoperability can finally deliver the transformation policymakers have long promised.

In this episode of Analyzing Healthcare, host Roy Bejarano sits down with Seema Verma, Executive Vice President & General Manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences and former CMS Administrator, to explore how Oracle is building the next generation of AI-enabled healthcare platforms. From Cerner’s acquisition to Oracle’s open-data vision, Verma details how the company is designing an EHR system built for AI, not one with AI “bolted on.” The discussion spans the future of ambient listening, automation in care delivery, interoperability mandates, and how AI can reduce administrative burden for both providers and patients.

Verma also reflects on her time at CMS—why initiatives like Patients Over Paperwork were just the beginning—and how her current work at Oracle continues that mission through private-sector innovation.
