Expanse for nurses

The best care. Humanly possible.

Demands on nurses continue to grow. Support them with intelligent digital solutions designed by and for nursing professionals.

MEDITECH Expanse offers full, mobile EHR access on a smartphone, a personalized user experience, and clinical decision support. Plus, responsibly integrated AI tools help nurses focus on patients instead of technology — and remain in control of every clinical decision.

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 handoffs, 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 a smart pump to send order details and receive infusion data.
    • Capture assessment data from conversations using embedded ambient intelligence (coming soon).
  • 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.

Give nurses the freedom to practice their way

Everybody's different. MEDITECH’s versatile Expanse EHR enables your nurses to personalize their views and workflows for a better user experience. CIO Eric Gasser, MBA, RN, of Wooster Community Hospital Health System, shares how he and his team collaborated with frontline nurses to strike the right balance between personalization and standardization.

  • What our customers are saying about Expanse

  • Holly Davis headshot

    “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.”

    “Our staff are appreciative of that quick way that they can document [on Point of Care] versus having to go find a computer or push that computer on wheels in the room.”

  • Helen Wong headshot

    “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.”

    “Quality care for patients doesn’t start when they enter our clinic — and it doesn’t end when they’re discharged ... . With the Expanse platform, our case managers can track patients and add daily notes directly into the same record that nurses and doctors see, helping clinicians find the information they need without having to dig for it.”

  • Jake O'Shea headshot

    “... We love putting [Expanse Point of Care] in the hands of our nurses, and they really appreciate being able to scan medications with their phones at the patient’s bedside. They also like being able to document if they happen to be away from a computer, because they can do it from their phones. It has been a great satisfier for our care teams.”
