Reimagining Healthcare Through AI-Native Orchestration and Digital Platforms

The Big Unlock · Bharat Sutariya, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Health Officer, Oracle Health In this episode, Dr. Bharat Sutariya, Senior Vice President and Chief Health Officer at Oracle Health, discusses the radical transformation of healthcare through AI-native digital platforms. As an emergency physician with over 25 years of experience, including leadership roles at Cerner and Deloitte, Dr. Sutariya provides a unique perspective on moving past the “burden” of legacy EHR systems. The core of the conversation centers on Oracle’s bold bet: moving away from the industry-standard “bolt-on” AI approach. Instead, Oracle is rebuilding the healthcare stack from the ground up, embedding AI into the foundational layer. Dr. Sutariya argues that the future of healthcare technology isn’t just about capturing data but about systems of orchestration. This means AI that doesn’t just transcribe a note but listens to the clinical intent to automatically queue orders, handle referrals, and initiate prior authorizations. Dr. Sutariya predicts that within a year, the conversation will shift from documentation efficiency to a truly connected, intelligent ecosystem that gives time back to both providers and patients. Take a listen. This guest appearance was facilitated through conversations initiated at HIMSS.
