Case Study: Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre improves patient care and hospital operations with Oracle Exadata

Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre - Customer Case Study

Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre, a major Brazilian hospital network in Porto Alegre, needed to improve access to critical patient data, reduce bottlenecks in its hospital management application, and support secure, highly available care across emergency, outpatient, and specialty services. To address these challenges, the hospital turned to Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

Oracle Exadata was implemented in a cloud-based model to support admissions, surgeries, and 24/7 emergency care, and Santa Casa completed the migration in four months with only a two-hour interruption. The results included data entry that was 50% faster, back-office financial close that was 30% faster, improved reporting and compliance, and stronger security and recovery capabilities with 15-minute system recovery and continuous availability of clinical and business data.
