Oracle Health, a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, became a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Aligned Network on April 20, 2026. The designation confirms that Oracle Health’s platform meets CMS’s interoperability and data‑exchange standards, enabling it to participate in the national network of qualified health information networks (QHINs) and to exchange patient data securely across care settings.
The company also unveiled a new digital check‑in solution that integrates its CLEAR1 identity platform. Patients can verify their identity and upload health records at check‑in by scanning a QR code, eliminating paper intake and aligning with CMS’s “Kill the Clipboard” initiative to streamline administrative processes. The CLEAR1 platform is certified to NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 and Authenticator Assurance Level 2, ensuring secure, trusted identity verification for health data exchange.
Oracle Health’s move comes amid a broader strategy to strengthen its position in the interoperable health‑IT market. The company’s QHIN designation, achieved last year, and its participation in the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) reinforce its commitment to nationwide data sharing. Early adoption by AtlantiCare, a New Jersey health system, demonstrates market validation and suggests that the solution can accelerate patient onboarding and reduce administrative burden for providers.
Management emphasized the strategic importance of the milestone. Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, said, “Oracle Health is committed to making sure patients have access to and remain in control of their health data. Our participation in the CMS Aligned Networks will help health systems and patients connect data across settings, reduce fragmentation, and improve how clinicians and patients access the information they need.” She added, “Oracle will continue working with government and industry leaders to deliver a secure, interoperable, and AI‑enabled healthcare system that improves experiences for patients and clinicians while driving down the cost of care delivery.”
The CMS alignment and digital check‑in launch position Oracle Health to capture a larger share of the growing interoperable health‑IT market, potentially driving new customer wins and reinforcing Oracle’s broader strategy in the healthcare data ecosystem.
