Overview
MEDITECH has expanded the functionality of our Expanse Now mobile app to include extensive new ambulatory and acute workflow features.
New ambulatory features
In the ambulatory setting, physicians have been using Expanse Now to:
- View their schedules.
- Respond to workload items.
- Compose new workload messages to their teams.
- Quickly process necessary outstanding eRx tasks.
Rounding out the ambulatory workflow, our new enhancements enable physicians to:
- Manage their patients’ ambulatory medications.
- Manage their patients’ outstanding non-medication orders.
- Create new chart notes to reflect targeted care changes outside of visits.
- Search for patients using the new patient-level search option.
With these new features, Expanse Now places complex functionality in ambulatory physicians’ hands when they’re between patient visits and out of the office.
New acute care features
Physicians in the acute care setting now have access to their inpatient rounds lists to manage their associated patients and coverage lists. By selecting a patient visit from the list, a physician can navigate to view their medication and non-medication orders, and enter a brief chart note to denote changes in patient care. These building blocks pave the way for acute care physician workflow enhancements.
Overall, these exciting additions will allow our physicians to do more via their phone between visits and patient interactions, and create a solid foundation for future MEDITECH mobile enhancements.
Product goals
- Targeted Workflow Completion: MEDITECH brings targeted workflows to the phone, helping physicians to be more efficient. The Expanse Now app is an extension of the Expanse product, but it is not a mirror.
- Mobile Usability: Expanse routines have been adapted for the phone form factor, highlighting necessary functionality without cluttering the screen with every option in the full Expanse product.
- Interface Consistency: Consistency in overall look, feel, and navigation makes it easy for physicians to adopt the new features and functions that MEDITECH is adding to the Expanse Now app.
