Addressing real world challenges?

As part of their digital transformation journeys, many of our longtime customers are looking to MEDITECH to help reimagine how care is delivered.

In parallel with deploying its Expanse solution, Fraser Health Authority is one of the first health systems globally to deploy generative AI to assist with clinical documentation in MEDITECH’s Expanse EHR. As a pilot site for the clinical documentation use case, focusing on the hospital course narrative at discharge, Fraser will next deploy our AI tools to assist with nursing hand-off.

“We have worked with MEDITECH to identify use cases that have the most positive and meaningful impact in healthcare. Leveraging AI to streamline the discharge summarization process can save providers a lot of valuable time. We look forward to seeing the results and the benefits of this technology at Fraser Health.” - Peter Clardy, MD, Google Health Senior Clinical Specialist?

Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences is innovating treatment outcomes with Expanse Genomics. The leader in mental health care is also the first hospital in Ontario to offer complimentary pharmacogenetic testing for select patient groups to better understand how their bodies metabolize medications. These tests will allow for the precise optimization of treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique genetic profile.

“We appreciate our longstanding partnership with Ontario Shores and commend them on our latest collaboration — the successful implementation of Expanse Genomics. They are leading the way in Canada with next-level personalized care. By integrating genetic information and evidence-based guidance directly into the electronic health record workflow, clinicians are empowered with important data specific to each patient that can positively impact their unique care plan. This is truly transforming healthcare delivery.” - Jennifer Ford, Product Management Manager at MEDITECH
