La migration, achevée en mars 2025, a permis d’importantes améliorations des performances, notamment une réduction de 26 % des temps de réponse aux transactions EHR et une baisse de 40 % des temps de réponse lors de la connexion.
Cette migration vers le cloud renforce la sécurité des données patients et offre des capacités de stockage évolutives, soutenant la mission de NYGH de bâtir une communauté de soins connectée numériquement. Les performances accrues du système ont permis des temps de chargement des écrans et de traitement des transactions plus rapides, permettant aux professionnels de santé de consacrer plus de temps aux patients et d’améliorer la coordination des soins.
La mise en œuvre s’appuie sur la présence régionale d’OCI au Canada pour le stockage et le traitement des données, avec des fonctionnalités intégrées de reprise après sinistre et de basculement pour garantir la disponibilité du système.
North York General Hospital (NYGH) in Toronto ist das erste Krankenhaus Kanadas, das seine elektronische Gesundheitsakte (EHR) auf Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) migriert hat. Die Migration, die im März 2025 abgeschlossen wurde, führte zu erheblichen Leistungsverbesserungen, darunter eine 26%ige Verringerung der Antwortzeiten bei EHR-Transaktionen und eine 40%ige Reduzierung der Anmeldeantwortzeiten.
Die Cloud-Migration erhöht die Sicherheit der Patientendaten und bietet skalierbare Speicherlösungen, die die Mission von NYGH unterstützen, eine digital vernetzte Versorgungsgemeinschaft aufzubauen. Die verbesserte Systemleistung führt zu schnelleren Bildschirmladezeiten und Transaktionsverarbeitung, wodurch medizinisches Personal mehr Zeit mit Patienten verbringen und die Koordination der Versorgung verbessern kann.
Die Implementierung nutzt die regionale Präsenz von OCI in Kanada für Datenlagerung und -verarbeitung und verfügt über integrierte Funktionen für Notfallwiederherstellung und Failover, um die Systemverfügbarkeit sicherzustellen.

To support its efforts to build a digitally connected care community, NYGH needed a scalable, high-performance infrastructure that could help deliver up-to-date patient information to healthcare providers and clinical teams. With OCI, NYGH reports that it has been able to improve the performance of its EHR and decrease the amount of time health professionals spend waiting for information by significantly reducing system latency. In addition, OCI's built-in disaster recovery and failover capabilities have helped NYGH keep its EHR available when needed.
"North York General Hospital is on a mission to set new standards for people-centered care through integrated and coordinated patient services across the organization, and its recent migration to OCI provides the foundation required to achieve that goal," said Erin O'Halloran, vice president and
Following its migration to OCI in March 2025, NYGH is seeing positive results across the hospital in faster screen loads and transaction response times. This includes decreasing the response time for all transactions made in the EHR by 26 percent and reducing the average login response time for all users by 40 percent.* The increased speed and responsiveness of the system is helping to streamline processes so clinicians can complete tasks more quickly and free up more time to spend with patients. The performance gains also enable more comprehensive and real-time updates to the patient record, which strengthens communication and care coordination across all caregivers to enhance patient care.
"OCI provides a high-performance foundation for innovation," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "Customers like North York General Hospital are migrating to OCI to increase IT efficiency and improve care delivery."
