Oracle Health and Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications will help bring data together, streamline work, and support a more connected patient experience

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Southwest General, a private, not-for-profit, acute care hospital in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, is expanding its relationship with Oracle. Building on its use of Oracle Health Foundation EHR and the recent integration of Oracle Health AI Agents, clinical note capabilities, to help automate routine administrative tasks and give physicians more time with patients, Southwest General is adopting Oracle Health Patient Accounting, Oracle Health Data Intelligence, and Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. These applications will help unify clinical, financial, and operational information, simplify workflows, and support informed care decisions across the organization.

As an independent community-focused health center, Southwest General is working to alleviate administrative complexity created by disconnected financial, operational, and health information systems. By expanding its use of Oracle technology across the enterprise, Southwest General will build an integrated environment that helps its team access the right information when and where it needs it, reduce manual processes, and spend more time supporting patients throughout their healthcare journeys.

“At Southwest General, we are taking control of our digital transformation to build an environment that works better for our patients and for the people who care for them,” said Jae Zayed, chief digital and information officer, Southwest General. “With Oracle, we are bringing our clinical, financial, and operational systems into a shared environment to better equip clinicians and staff with the information and tools they need to focus on what matters most—delivering high-quality care. This investment will help us improve the experience for our team and for the patients and families who rely on us.”

Southwest General will use Oracle Health Patient Accounting to create a comprehensive view of key financial information for its revenue cycle team. By bringing billing, payments, claims, and account information into one system, Oracle Health Patient Accounting can help reduce manual work, support accurate billing and faster payment processing, and make it easier to address patient questions. Streamlining these processes can improve the experience for both patients and staff while supporting stronger revenue operations.

Oracle Health Data Intelligence will help Southwest General bring health data together in a central environment, making relevant patient information easier for its care team to access. With a more complete view of information they need, clinicians can make more informed care decisions, better coordinate care, and identify opportunities to improve the patient experience.

To complement these solutions, Southwest General plans to adopt the full Oracle Fusion Applications suite including: Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM), Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM), and Oracle Fusion Cloud Customer Experience (CX). Together, these AI-powered enterprise applications will help Southwest General standardize processes, improve visibility into enterprise performance, and establish a scalable foundation for continued innovation.

“Our community deserves care and service supported by modern capabilities that help us meet today’s healthcare challenges,” said Darrell Lentz, chief financial officer, Southwest General. “Oracle is giving us the platform and unified data environment to leapfrog years ahead of industry leaders, helping our team make more contextually aware care decisions, manage the revenue cycle with greater confidence, and operate with greater agility. This is about raising the bar for the care and service we provide to our community.”

“Healthcare organizations need connected systems that make it easy for people to do their best work and focus on the people they serve,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “By connecting care delivery, revenue cycle, and enterprise operations with Oracle, Southwest General is equipping its team to work from a more complete picture and helping create a more coordinated, responsive experience for its community. Oracle is proud to support its continued leadership and innovation.”

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
