WESTWOOD, Mass., March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Continued industry demand for MEDITECH and Expanse, the company’s state-of-the-art, web-based Enterprise Health Record (EHR), is fueling a strong start to 2019. Recent signings represent a solid mix of customer migrations and net new business wins.
“It’s an exciting time at MEDITECH and we are looking forward to continuing to build on this momentum throughout 2019,” said MEDITECH Executive Vice President Helen Waters. “Our recent signings clearly indicate that current and new customers are embracing Expanse as a solution to enhance the patient and clinician EHR experience.”
