The largest healthcare system in North Louisiana renews long-term partnership with MEDITECH to deploy the fully-integrated EHR platform across all care settings
WESTWOOD, Mass.ā(BUSINESS WIRE)ā#EHRāWillis-Knighton Health System (Shreveport, LA) announced it has signed to implement MEDITECHās mobile, web-based Enterprise Health Record (EHR), Expanse, across its five hospitals and 140 clinics. The health system shares MEDITECHās vision for improving patient care through advanced technologies, and saw immense value in the vendorās progressive solutions, including Expanse Population Health, which will enable them to deliver care that reaches far beyond the hospital and physicianās office.
āWe are upgrading to MEDITECHās Expanse system because it meets the high-quality standards we are seeking as we upgrade data management at Willis-Knighton,ā said James K. Elrod, President and CEO of Willis-Knighton Health System. āThis will not only enhance care, it will also enhance the quality of life for our physicians and other staff who use our electronic health record.ā
Elrod continued, āOur physicians will be able to seamlessly review, synchronize, and coordinate care for patients in all locations. Due to our long-term relationship with MEDITECH, we are confident that Expanse will support our data management and documentation needs now and well into the future.ā
Cutting-edge technology combined with a previous long-term relationship with MEDITECH were key factors in Willis-Knightonās decision to move to Expanse. The organization had deployed MEDITECHās legacy system in the 90ās and more recently utilized another EHR solution.
