News Facts

• Oracle Health Sciences today introduced Oracle Health Sciences Empirica Healthcare Analysis, an analytics platform that enables health sciences organizations, regulatory agencies and healthcare payers and providers to develop safety surveillance, advanced risk management strategies and comparative effectiveness initiatives to improve product safety and healthcare outcomes.
• This Web-based application, which can be deployed on-premise or hosted, provides access to a repeatable analysis environment to effectively assess and improve the safety and risk/benefit profile of a product.
• The solution enables product safety experts to manage risk and understand the value of their products throughout their lifecycle by providing a one-stop, high-performance data analysis environment to inform and support safety surveillance.
