St. Luke’s recently launched MEDITECH Expanse, a web-based Enterprise
Health Record (EHR).
The move to Expanse enables St. Luke’s to connect patient information
throughout the continuum, providing clinicians a complete view of the
patient for enhanced care and quality outcomes.
Providers are now able to access the complete patient story and share data
throughout its two hospitals and 44 clinics. The move to Expanse connected
St. Luke’s 240 providers and enabled the organization to share one,
integrated EHR.
“We are excited to launch Expanse because it streamlines how we access
and share patient information across our system,” St. Luke’s
Information Technology Director Clark Averill said. “Having this
system is a win for our patients and our staff.”
A customer since 2002, St. Luke’s partnered with MEDITECH on this
project because of its long-standing relationship and collaborative approach
to providing solutions that are designed to enhance patient care. The
value and sophistication of the EHR were also key factors in St. Luke’s
selection of Expanse.
“It is an honor to partner with St. Luke’s to help elevate
the patient experience and furnish its healthcare providers with technology
that supports their efforts in delivering safe, quality care,” said
Helen Waters, executive vice president at MEDITECH. “We value our
long-time partnership with this progressive organization, and look forward
to seeing them leverage Expanse to meet their evolving needs.”
St. Luke’s is utilizing MEDITECH’s acute, emergency department
and ambulatory solutions.
