Epic has been eating Cerner’s lunch for years, mainly because Cerner has seemed to lose momentum since before Neal Patterson died. I think that competition in the EHR market is important, hopefully this buy will reinvigorate Cerner.

What other medical records does oracle have?

Has Oracle ever "reinvigorated" something since the early 90's? Feels like no to me. Oracle seems like a place things go to die.
