Value and Sustainability

An EHR that optimizes innovation and value

In today's climate of tight margins and falling reimbursements, many EHRs don't deliver value for their cost. True value goes beyond price — it includes strong functionality, reliability, and support. An intelligent EHR platform like MEDITECH Expanse offers integrated, innovative solutions that boost ROI and help healthcare organizations maintain independence.

Don't buy into the myth that higher cost means better results. Choosing a financially sustainable EHR partner is an investment in innovation and value without compromise.

"This search and summarization tool is powerful. Instead of spending hours or days requesting and sifting through several hundred pages of a patient's record, this can be done in minutes.

The performance of Expanse, the power of a subscription

Would a cloud-hosted, subscription-based service model better suit your organization's needs? MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS) delivers the full Expanse intelligent EHR platform while reducing the time and cost of procuring, hosting, and maintaining an enterprise-level EHR.

For any size, any specialty, MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS) is a cost-effective and scalable EHR solution.
With MaaS, customers have autonomy over their EHR. Unlike our competitors' models, decisions are not dictated by other customers.
MaaS enables organizations to improve financial performance and focus on providing care to patients.

Keep the total cost of ownership low, but quality high

With average hospital operating margins in the 2-4% range, choosing a high cost EHR that exceeds 5% of total operating costs can wipe out your margins.

If you select an EHR that produces comparable value at a significantly lower total cost of operation (measuring on a 10-year time horizon as a life cycle cost analysis), you can maintain safe margins, reinvest in care improvement, and remain sustainable.

How does MEDITECH do it?

Delivering a cost-conscious implementation approach that keeps you on time and on budget, and includes an all-inclusive support fee
Leveraging advanced clinical decision support and inherent integration across all care settings, supporting innovative care models
Intelligent interoperability solutions that support the seamless sharing of data externally
Powerful visualization tools that help enable informed, data-driven decisions

Safeguard your independence and enjoy long-term sustainability

MEDITECH's national private data exchange network, Traverse Exchange, helps your organization stand alone — but not apart. You remain in control of your data and your future, with the tools you need to connect to other care organizations for accessing the right data at the right time to provide the best, most efficient care possible.

You can also drive efficiency and maximize performance by leveraging MEDITECH's powerful data analytics solution and support revenue generation with revenue cycle management that is agile and resilient. You'll be able to keep the financial side of your organization just as healthy as the clinical side.
