Expanse Clinical Decision Support

Turn discrete data into relevant information

Be sure your care teams have the information they need for clinical decision-making. MEDITECH’s wide range of clinical decision support interventions include active formats that engage clinicians while ordering or documenting, and passive formats that require clinicians to take action, such as linked references.

Our evidence-based content is embedded in Expanse to give your organization immediate EHR benefits. Tools from collaborative vendors round out our CDS options, helping healthcare organizations of all sizes to improve patient safety, quality metrics, and efficiency — the goals of value-based care.

Built in, for better outcomes

Keep a close eye on patients’ conditions, whether they’re outside or inside your organization. Patient Registries and Surveillance work in tandem to identify patients who may need your attention.

Preloaded content includes standard displays, rules, and algorithms to help you monitor and manage common conditions, hospital-acquired infections, and quality measures. Use it as is, tailor it to meet your patients’ needs, or create your own.

Cast a wide net for your patient populations

Actionable Patient Registries integrate with remote monitoring for patient-reported values:

Condition registries (Diabetes, COPD, hypertension, and several other conditions)
Health maintenance registries
Event registries (Recent ED Visit, Pre-Visit Planning, and more)

Ensure patients receive the right care at the right time

Surveillance identifies at-risk patients, monitors their care, and guides the care team. Standard content includes:

Actionable status boards

Quality measures
Conditions (VAP, sepsis, etc.)
Consults
Preventive measures

Action lists, including orders, documentation, and notifications
Quality watchlists

Excellence included

Advance clinical decision-making from day one with our multidisciplinary, evidence-based standard content. Plus, it’s coordinated with best practice workflows, for safer patient care from the start.

800+ documentation templates — developed by our physician team — address key specialties.

EHR Excellence Toolkits for CAUTI, sepsis, diabetes, opioid stewardship, and other healthcare priorities include content, plus optimal workflows and system guidance to improve outcomes.

Clinical rules database reduces obstacles to decision support. Search our repository of approved, multidisciplinary rules for common workflows and issues.

Monitoring tools for alerts and clinical standardization minimize alert fatigue, track care variations, and fine-tune quality improvement programs.

Care-full collaborations

MEDITECH has joined forces with the best knowledge vendors in the industry to simplify CDS acquisition. The results? You get their content embedded in Expanse’s clinical workflows.

“The Joint Commission required that we pick two conditions and prove we had made an impact on one of them. We thought if we could leverage MEDITECH’s clinical decision support and analytics capabilities to decrease and monitor treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria, we could meet all the conditions outlined in that new update.”

“You can’t possibly pick up on every indication of a patient that could be going downhill fast. Having these status boards and surveillance tools, we can now flag someone in real time and say ‘Maybe you should go take a look at this patient.’"
