Pharmacists at Melbourne’s The Alfred, Sandringham Hospital and Caulfield Hospital are using DoseMeRx, a precision dosing platform, integrated with the Oracle Health Foundation electronic health record (EHR) via FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources).
The hospitals, part of the Bayside Health network, are described as the first Oracle Health client in the JAPAC region to fully deploy a third-party application integrated with FHIR within the Oracle Health Foundation EHR.
According to the release, the integration is intended to allow clinicians to access DoseMeRx dosing recommendations within their existing EHR workflow, reducing the need to switch between systems. It also aims to reduce manual data entry by drawing on patient-specific data already held in the EHR, including dose history, demographics and pathology results.
The release said the system calculates individualised medication dosing recommendations and cited vancomycin as an example use case. It said DoseMeRx uses Bayesian pharmacokinetic modelling to generate evidence-based dosing recommendations.
“Reducing manual data entry, and driving safer, more effective treatments is great for both patients and staff,” said Erica Tong, chief pharmacy information officer, Alfred Health. “Supporting our clinicians with the latest tools is part of that.”
The announcement also positioned the deployment as an example of Oracle Health’s approach to third-party integrations using standards-based APIs, including its Ignite API for FHIR. The release said FHIR can support secure, real-time sharing of clinical and administrative data between health systems and enable workflow integration.
“This integration demonstrates what’s possible when open standards like FHIR are leveraged to connect precision dosing directly within the clinical workflow,” said John Hardesky, CEO, DoseMe. “By embedding Bayesian dosing intelligence into the Oracle Health Foundation EHR, clinicians can access individualised recommendations through DoseMe without disrupting care delivery — advancing both safety and efficiency.”
“This collaboration between Bayside Health and Oracle Health demonstrates the success we can achieve across the healthcare industry when we eliminate walled gardens and support an open, interoperable ecosystem,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “Together, we are accelerating innovation and creating a more connected healthcare experience that enhances patient care across the region.”
