MEDITECH Ends 2017 with Strong Sales, Momentum Heading into 2018

WESTWOOD, Mass., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The buzz surrounding MEDITECH and the company's intuitive Web Enterprise Health Record (EHR) showed no signs of slowing down as 2017 came to a close. Continuing on the powerful path for high-quality care and positive patient outcomes, MEDITECH signed 92 healthcare organizations, 47 of which were new customers, to implement the Web EHR.

"MEDITECH had a fantastic 2017 -- we showed tremendous growth in the fourth quarter, and we see this momentum carrying over into 2018," Helen Waters, executive vice president at MEDITECH, said. "Customer satisfaction remained a top priority, which is evident by our strong bookings and competitive wins. Our overall growth validates our passionate new vision for healthcare, and I'm confident MEDITECH will continue to lead the way for a bright and successful 2018."

The relationship longevity and brand loyalty between MEDITECH and its customers is a positive indication of the efficiency and aptitude of the product. Some of MEDITECH's Web EHR signings from Q4 2017 include:

St. Luke's Medical (Duluth, Minn.)
A MEDITECH customer since 2002, St. Luke's Health Care System will be implementing MEDITECH's clinically-integrated EHR across its two hospitals and 44 clinics for greater patient care coordination and outcomes in 2018.

"We've had a great relationship with MEDITECH through the years. It's a cultural fit for us — we appreciate and understand how the system works and how to communicate with MEDITECH staff and their willingness to ensure their software allows us to provide excellent patient care," Director of Information Technology at St. Luke's, Clark Averill said. "MEDITECH has a great methodology for identifying challenges and addressing challenges — we know we can count on them."

Major Health Partners (Shelbyville, Ind.)
Indiana-based healthcare provider Major Health Partners (MHP) will extend their 22-year partnership with MEDITECH by implementing the state-of-the-art Web EHR. MHP looks to continue providing high-quality care to central and southeastern Indiana in tandem with MEDITECH's Web EHR.

"We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with MEDITECH and provide our clinicians with a mobile, contemporary Web EHR that embodies true integration," said Major Health Partners' CIO, Carol Huesman. "Having a solution that enables care teams to access their patient's information from anywhere in the healthcare continuum positions Major Health Partners to drive healthy outcomes for the communities we serve."

McAlester Regional Health Center (McAlester, Okla.)
A MEDITECH customer since 1998, McAlester Regional Health Center (MRHC) is dedicated to providing comprehensive regional healthcare to residents of southeastern Oklahoma. The health center enrolled in the MEDITECH Web EHR for a more streamlined, user-friendly system.

"We wanted a fully integrated solution that would provide our patients their information faster, and a more complete medical record across southeastern Oklahoma," Jason Bray, CIO of MRHC, said. "This will also directly impact and improve physician, staff, and most importantly, our patient satisfaction."

Citizens Memorial Health (Bolivar, Mo.)
Recognized for its innovative efforts associated with its patient electronic medical record system (EHR), Citizens Memorial Health (CMH) upgraded to MEDITECH's Web Ambulatory EHR in an effort to continue providing exceptional care to eight counties in southwest Missouri. CMH is a Level III Trauma Center consisting of 32 primary and specialty physician clinics, and seven long-term care facilities, and other ancillary services.

"The MEDITECH EHR has been a big success for CMH and has allowed our organization to develop and grow to provide even more services to our community," said Denni McColm, CIO of CMH. "Now it is a natural next step for us to move to MEDITECH's latest and greatest version. Our providers and nurses are excited about the new user interface, new features and workflows and the best practices that we will be implementing.

Lane Regional Medical Center (Zachary, La.)
Lane Regional Medical Center (LRMC) chose MEDITECH's interoperable Web EHR for its modern user interface and accessibility. Dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare services in the region, LRMC is the primary healthcare resource for more than 200,000 patients throughout Zachary and the surrounding areas.

"MEDITECH has always worked with us and gone out of their way to help us achieve our goals as a healthcare organization," said Paul Murphy, CIO of LRMC. "That is the primary reason why we consider them more than a vendor - we consider them a trusted partner."

Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre (Ottawa, Ont.)
Combining specialized mental healthcare, advocacy, and education to transform the lives of patients with mental illness, The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre (The Royal) partnered up with Ontario Shores and Waypoint Centre to create a MEDITECH "mental health hub" to collectively focus on Behavioral Health.

"We're excited to be partnering with Ontario to set up this "hub," said Cal Crocker, executive vice president and chief financial officer at The Royal.
