MEDITECH ED

Increase your emergency department efficiency.

In the Emergency Room, saving lives means making the right decisions quickly and safely. With MEDITECH Expanse, you'll have all the information you need to provide patients with prompt and targeted treatment. One complete patient record across ED, acute, and ambulatory environments gives you access to the full patient story — with intuitive mobile and touch-based technology that will improve your efficiency, as well as your patient's experience.

Quicker input + smoother output = better throughput.

In the fast-paced ED, your care team needs an EHR that will help them stay ahead of the curve. With MEDITECH Expanse, you can:

Drive efficiency with chief complaints and expert- and evidence-based protocols to generate suggested orders and documentation templates.
Use fully tailorable and expandable patient trackers to manage multiple patient lists, monitor wait times, sign up for patients, and easily complete shift hand-offs.
Document faster through voice recognition, branching logic, quick text, and other intuitive features.
Easily review, sign, and place orders, just like an online shopping cart.
Get notified at the first sign of trouble and take action sooner, with predictive analytics and alerts embedded in the physician and care team workflows.

Designed for the way you work.

No more wasting time hunting down the information you need. With MEDITECH Expanse, you have a personalized experience, seeing everything you want to see and nothing you don't. So you can work the way you do best — quickly and efficiently.

Select from a library of over 100 general widgets and specialty choices to define your preferred patient summary layout. Tailor your own fixed reference panel, so you never lose sight of key details as you place orders, document care, and navigate the chart. Add new items to this panel on the fly, and even tailor your homepage with personal preferences to better prioritize your workload and notifications.

"With the implementation of [MEDITECH] ED, we gained direct links to patient histories, rapid trending of lab data, embedded voice recognition options in the record from any device, intuitive data entry points, and narrative formatting of the record for excellent readability. By making an EHR more intuitive and workflow friendly, patients get their care faster."

"OK, MEDITECH." Make my life easier.

The most intuitive EHR for physicians just got easier. Now physicians can promptly find what they’re looking for in their EHR simply by asking. Powered by the same advanced AI you use on your personal devices, Expanse Virtual Assistant works just like you’d expect it to — lowering your cognitive load and allowing you to focus on your patients, not your devices.

Improve the patient experience.

An EHR that brings all patient information to the forefront improves the experience of patients as well as providers. Don't turn your back on patients; document alongside them so they can better understand their conditions and treatments. See how MEDITECH's ED is already making a difference at Firelands Regional Medical Center.

Make care coordination easier, automatically.

Prepare for discharge — the minute your patient steps into the ED. With Expanse, information recorded throughout the patient's ED visit automatically populates their multidisciplinary discharge plan — shared by physicians, nurses, and other clinicians. That means all appropriate orders, referrals, and instructions are in place before a patient's transition to the next level of care.

Visit, discharge, and educational materials are automatically accessible via patient portals, while documentation is pushed out to connected network care providers for easy follow-ups. Practices using MEDITECH also receive notification of their patients' ED visits through event-driven registries, so they can schedule timely follow up visits.

Show results, with dynamic reports.

Do more with your data. Measure ED throughput, volumes, operational time of day, and much more, using our web-based Business and Clinical Analytics. MEDITECH Expanse offers a diverse portfolio of reports and dashboards for analyzing data across your organization.
