The move to Expanse signifies the organization's commitment to interoperable care for patients and time savings for clinicians CANTON, Mass., May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harbor Regional Health (Aberdeen, WA) announced its decision to extend its 33-year partnership with MEDITECH by implementing the Expanse EHR via the cloud-based MEDITECH-as-a-Service (MaaS) subscription model. MaaS will enable Harbor Regional's long-term sustainability by reducing the time and cost of procuring, hosting, securing, and maintaining a scalable, innovative platform. As part of its implementation, Harbor Regional will replace additional disparate EHRs with MEDITECH's integrated Expanse Ambulatory and Home Care solutions, consolidating health records into a single source for patient-centered care. It will also leverage MEDITECH's Traverse Exchange interoperability network to enable open data sharing with area hospitals and beyond. The decision marks a significant step forward in the organization's strategy to modernize care delivery and support its care teams with a more mobile, patient-centric approach to care. "Our investment in Expanse is a foundational step in supporting our teams and building a more connected, patient-focused future for Harbor Regional Health," said CEO Tom Jensen. "By creating a single, integrated record across the hospital and clinics—with the ability to connect seamlessly with other systems in our region—we're ensuring that our patients receive coordinated care, no matter where they are. This also positions us to attract and retain top talent by equipping our teams with the tools to work smarter and serve the community better." Expanse will facilitate transparency across the entire care continuum, from labs and imaging to emergency and surgery. The transition from multiple patient portals to one singular integrated patient portal will also keep patients engaged in their healthcare with easy access to their health data, and provider messaging. "As a practicing internal medicine physician, having a single electronic record that can also communicate with external systems gives me a more complete view of my patients' health journey," said Harbor Regional Health Chief Medical Officer Anne Marie Wong, MD. "This integrated approach allows me to better collaborate with patients when making care recommendations. It's a more streamlined experience that will benefit both patients and clinicians, giving us more time to build relationships by reducing clerical tasks." Harbor Regional Health Director of Information Technology Brad Wallace agrees that Expanse will help to save time for clinicians and IT staff alike. "By removing the need for interfacing between the hospital and clinics, we eliminate duplicated patient records and reduce the operational overhead associated with interface management. Providers gain comprehensive visibility across the entire care continuum, which supports clinical training," he says. "The ability to personalize workflows with Expanse also allows end users to configure their workspace without IT intervention, and the browser-based architecture provides secure access from any device and location. This improves user satisfaction, while eliminating the need for and cost of separate technologies for onsite and remote access." The Expanse platform's centralized reporting will also enable the organization to measure the impact of proactive interventions for patients at high risk for chronic diseases, such as diabetes and congestive heart failure. "Moving to MEDITECH Expanse will provide the resources needed to generate greater operational efficiencies, advanced data insights to address community care gaps, and increased provider satisfaction," said Harbor Regional Health Chief Financial Officer Niall S. Foley, MBA, FHFMA. "Expanse will give HRH the tools and information necessary to expand our population health initiatives and begin our transition to value-based compensation models." MEDITECH Vice President Carol Labadini said she is looking forward to working with Harbor Regional Health as they modernize their IT platform. "As a long-time partner, we value the trust HRH puts in us to help them stay independent and at the same time connected with area hospitals," she said. "We will continue to make sure that their staff and patients are taken care of, with technology that can meet their needs today and in the years to come."

Silver Hill Hospital Signs for MEDITECH Expanse for Integrated and Patient-Centered Care
CANTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Silver Hill Hospital (New Canaan, CT), a nationally recognized psychiatric hospital, announced today it will implement MEDITECH Expanse to enhance care coordination and patient engagement. The independent, not-for-profit hospital will also implement Expanse in its outpatient facility in Midtown Manhattan, which has recently been rebranded as Silver Hill New York. We're excited to announce Silver Hill Hospital has selected @MEDITECH #Expanse to modernize and unify its EHR system across its care locations. A step forward in delivering integrated, patient-centered behavioral healthcare. Share The behavioral healthcare organization selected Expanse to provide an integrated EHR, replacing its current combination of disparate systems and paper-based records with a single, shared, intelligent platform. Expanse will provide a complete set of clinical, administrative, and financial solutions to manage the needs of its patients and their families across the inpatient and outpatient settings. Silver Hill selected MEDITECH following a full RFP process and evaluation of the three leading EHR providers. The MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS) subscription model delivers the full Expanse platform while reducing the time and cost of procuring, hosting, and maintaining an enterprise-level EHR. 'MaaS was the ideal solution for our organization and IT team,' said Silver Hill Director of IT Melissa Hall. 'It allows us to have all of the features and benefits of a modern system without the overhead associated with an on-prem alternative.' As a facility that receives referrals from many external organizations, including Yale New Haven Hospital, which uses Epic, interoperability was a key factor considered by Silver Hill's EHR selection committee. As part of the Expanse implementation, Silver Hill will be connected to MEDITECH's nationwide interoperability network, Traverse Exchange. This connectivity will streamline the referral process by enabling Silver Hill to exchange discrete patient information with participating care networks and organizations running different EHR systems. 'The ability to connect directly with our referral partners will open up the door to having a routine exchange of information on both sides of the referral process,' Hall said. 'This will be of tremendous benefit and significantly reduce information loss as patients move between care providers.' The Expanse implementation will include a new patient portal for enhancing engagement with patients, as well as their family members and caregivers. 'A lot of our patients are adolescents, so their families are very involved in their treatment. This shared portal access will improve engagement by enabling patients and their families to access their information across the care continuum,' Hall said. 'The portal will also streamline admissions by allowing patients to submit questionnaires and forms through the portal before arrival, reducing intake time and getting them treated faster.' Silver Hill will also deploy Expanse's Business and Clinical Analytics, a business intelligence solution that will deliver real-time, actionable insights for improving operational efficiency, financial performance, and patient outcomes. The hospital plans to use BCA to augment its existing data warehouse. 'We are thrilled to partner with Silver Hill to deliver more connected care with Expanse,' said MEDITECH Vice President Carol Labadini. 'Moving to one shared platform will improve communication, collaboration, and efficiency. Additionally, Traverse Exchange will increase connectivity to external organizations, further elevating the quality of care.'
