La Paz Regional Hospital Connects Care Across the Community with Centralized MEDITECH Expanse EHR
CANTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- La Paz Regional Hospital (Parker, Arizona) is now live with MEDITECH Expanse, a modern, cloud-based EHR that supports the hospital's mission to enhance the health and well-being of its community through innovative, connected care. The implementation—delivered through MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS)—marks a major milestone in La Paz's digital transformation, consolidating multiple legacy systems into a single, intelligent platform that now connects the hospital and its four clinics across a 60-mile radius. La Paz Regional Hospital is now live with @MEDITECH Expanse via MEDITECH-as-a-Service (MaaS), a modern, cloud-based EHR that supports the hospital's mission to enhance the health and well-being of its community through innovative, connected care. Share By unifying care with MEDITECH Expanse, the health system has centralized patient information, eliminated duplication of tests, improved efficiency of chart review, and laid a foundation for scalable, sustainable growth. 'We are the healthcare team that takes care of the entire county, and we had four disparate systems that weren't the best at talking to each other,' said La Paz Regional Hospital CEO Zafer Genc. 'We wanted a unified system for our EHR and determined that MEDITECH was the one that fit throughout each area of the hospital and connected our hospital and clinics to improve the quality of care that we provide to our community.' Now, with a single EHR shared across all facilities and departments, La Paz clinicians have a comprehensive view of each patient's health history throughout the healthcare system, regardless of where or when that care was provided. When coupled with Expanse's interoperable solutions, clinicians can also access data from other organizations where a patient may have received care. This visibility enables providers to make more informed, timely decisions, particularly for patients managing chronic conditions or requiring complex, ongoing care. 'As CFO, I view this implementation as a strategic step forward,' said La Paz Regional Hospital CFO, Christine Barrington. 'We've made an investment in a system that brings greater continuity of care, improves data access, and supports better decision-making organization-wide.' The benefits of this transformation are already being felt across the organization. Expanse enables physicians, nurses, and therapists to access records, place orders, and document care from mobile devices using tools such as Expanse Now and Expanse Point of Care. This flexibility enhances the patient experience, improves responsiveness, and reduces administrative burden while combating clinician burnout. MEDITECH's embedded clinical decision support tools further enhance safety and help clinicians respond quickly to changes in a patient's condition. Clinicians at La Paz are already reporting greater efficiency in their daily routines, thanks to intuitive navigation and reduced documentation time. 'Expanse gives us more time with our patients,' said Director of Rehab Services Alvin Rodgers. 'Our chart review process is approximately 20% of what it was before. In just one screen, I can see the doctor's notes, what the nurses are doing, and more.' Director of Education Lara Leroy agrees that Expanse has made reviewing patient charts much faster and easier. 'The documentation is all put together the way that I need it,' she said. 'Before, it would take me hours to go through charts, but with MEDITECH it takes minutes.' Administrative staff have also seen significant improvements. From patient access to billing, the EHR streamlines workflows, minimizes delays, and ensures that critical information is always at hand. Additionally, the organization-wide Business and Clinical Analytics solution provides interactive, web-based business intelligence, serving as a single source of truth for clinical, financial, and operational data. Finance Director Vickie Greiling said, 'With one EHR facility-wide, we no longer need to access multiple systems to find the data we need to process patient billing.' Patients also benefit from new engagement tools such as the MyHealth portal and MHealth app, which allow them to view pertinent health information, message the care team, and manage appointments. Expanse Patient Connect enables secure messaging, while text reminders enhance communication and engagement, ensuring patients stay informed and prepared for each step in their care journey. 'La Paz's recent go-live represents a pivotal step toward fully connected, patient-centered healthcare in Arizona,' said MEDITECH VP Carol Labadini. 'We look forward to continuing our partnership with La Paz and helping them to support community health for many years to come.'

MEDITECH Expanse EHR system boosts Willis Knighton patient care
Willis Knighton Health has implemented the MEDITECH Expanse electronic health record (EHR) system across its 132 clinics. This strategic move has replaced three separate EHRs, offering care coordination across the organisation's ambulatory and acute care facilities. Willis Knighton's integration is set to deliver improved healthcare outcomes and operational efficiencies. Willis Knighton Health Information Technology senior vice president and chief information officer Mark Galea said: 'One of the concerns we've heard from patients is that they have to repeat information when visiting different providers. 'This integration responds to that concern and supports access to the electronic records for all Willis Knighton locations and providers.' Patients within the Willis Knighton network are now experiencing the benefits of a shared EHR platform, which eliminates the need for redundant tests and provides access to a single patient portal for viewing test results and visit notes. Clinicians also gain from having all patient data consolidated in one location, lessening administrative tasks and saving time. In the process of this implementation, the clinics have worked together to standardise order sets and documentation templates. This collaboration has facilitated a swift deployment of the system across all clinic locations. The MEDITECH Expanse platform also offers the flexibility to tailor workflows, meeting the specific requirements of various medical specialists. Willis Knighton has further incorporated Expanse Oncology at its Cancer Center. This addition is designed to automate practice management and enhance the delivery of care for cancer patients, particularly by sharing real-time information among the care teams. MEDITECH executive vice president and chief operating officer Helen Waters said: "This achievement underscores their unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care and lays a strong foundation for continued innovation and growth.' In alignment with its commitment to patient-centred care, Willis Knighton has also introduced MEDITECH Expanse at its rehabilitation centre, progressive care centre, and skilled nursing facility. This expansion follows the recent decision by Harbor Regional Health to continue its long-standing partnership with MEDITECH by adopting the Expanse EHR system.

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.

It's a more streamlined experience that will benefit both patients and clinicians, giving us more time to build relationships by reducing clerical tasks."

"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.
