Expanse for nurses
The best care. Humanly possible.
Your nurses are working harder than ever as staffing shortages — and patient acuity — increase.
Unite clinicians across your enterprise with an intelligent EHR that fosters collaboration and safer care. Intelligent, intuitive tools offer clinical decision support and a personalized user experience, so they can spend more time with patients instead of technology.
Plus, mobile access allows nurses to move without limitations, wherever they’re needed, as they support patients — and each other.
Perfecting care for patients
When nurses practice with the right smart device, it's a win-win for them and their patients.
Nurses can:
- Grab a tablet to perform hand-offs, review patient education, and discuss discharge plans, right at the bedside.
- Navigate the personalized chart and document easily when they're with patients, not later on at the nurses' station.
- Use a smartphone to effortlessly document care at the bedside:
- Scan patient wristbands to access charts and administer medications.
- Capture wound images.
- Scan smart pump to send order details and receive infusion data.
- Gain support from virtual nurses, who use Expanse to focus on admissions documentation, discharge planning, and other time-consuming tasks that don’t require hands-on care.
Find out how virtual nursing and Expanse Patient Care can help relieve the burden on bedside nurses.

Make their day
Sherri Hess, CNIO at HCA Healthcare, recounts nurses’ responses when using MEDITECH’s Expanse Point of Care for the first time, including “You have made my day!”
A high five for AI-assisted handoff
Emanate Health and MEDITECH are helping nurses put challenging handoffs behind them. The healthcare system is piloting Expanse Patient Care’s new AI-assisted handoff feature to alleviate communication breakdowns for smoother transitions.
“Collaborating with MEDITECH on the AI-assisted handoff tool has given us an exciting opportunity to offer our clinicians new ways to provide more efficient patient care. Our emergency department and inpatient staff struggled with connecting during handoffs and wanted to improve communication. Expanse’s AI-assisted Nurse Handoff routine streamlines the SBAR report so our nurses have more face time with their patients.”

- Familiar-looking, yet flexible user interface, enhancing communication and teamwork.
What our customers are saying about Expanse
“Before MEDITECH, it could take 20 or 30 minutes just to discharge the patient. But with MEDITECH, it's like a five-minute process. And that's huge, so nurses can spend time doing important things instead of being stuck at the computer.”
Holly Davis, MBA, RN
Chief Nursing Officer
“We've been able to transform our model of care here at Phoebe, partnering with our virtual nurse team to shift those more administrative-type tasks so that we can ensure that they're thorough, great quality, and safe for our patients, and that we allow our bedside nurses to focus on true patient care and being at the bedside with our patients.”
Kelsey Reed, DNP, FACHDM
Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer
“It’s definitely easy if you’re at the bedside and the provider’s asking you, ‘What were the labs? Did they come back yet?’ You can pull them up on the screen and show them at the patient’s bedside, which allows for better communication with the patient on what to expect from their care.”
Lindsay Lea, RN, BSN
Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President, Clinical Services
"I get excited when I see the tools for our clinicians. I want the latest and greatest for them, and I want things to be seamless. Expanse Patient Care has given us all of that and more."
Carol Huesman
Chief Information Officer
[Expanse] allows them the freedom to go wherever mom is, wherever baby is, and make sure they're getting that documentation done. So often they're doing everything all at once. To have something that is just right there, it's an easy tool. They can scan, scan, and then go.
Brianna Juszczak, RN
Director of Acute Care and Obstetrics
"With the increased mobility of Expanse on a handheld device, nurses can slip into a room and administer medication in under a minute, saving time and barely interrupting a recovering patient."
Jureza Moselina, MSN/INF, BSN, RN
Director of Clinical Informatics
“We could see Point of Care's potential and the benefits of having a pocket-sized device staff can easily take into a patient's room without disruption. It would also untether our clinicians from their WOWs and enable them to spend more time engaging with patients at the bedside.”
Teresa Fortune
Clinical Operations Manager
“Everything is at our fingertips in a more user-friendly layout. It is amazing having easy access to everything we need to know about our patient basically on one screen rather than clicking through several tabs and pages to find what we need.”
Eric Rowland, RN
Emergency Department Nurse
