We were filing and updating patients information and their charts to meditech Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

Uncommonly easy to quickly gain proficiency in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

There is no field for doctors to enter an "assessment," which is the most important part of any doctor's note.

More important: When medication orders expire, the notification to the doctor is so subtle that it's easy to miss--in our institution, several patients have suffered permanent harm because the system automatically stopped essential medication in ways the doctor couldn't notice, then the patients stopped receiving the medication, and then the patient suffered (in more than one case) permanent harm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meditech Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?

One good thing: It's quick to write a note. (Of course, if you don't write an "assessment," it's a terrible note, but it makes it quicker to write.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

This EHR is functional. It doesn’t have a bunch of bells and whistles which is also its strength. It is easy to train someone to use this software and you do not have to worry about getting lost in difficult menus/settings/encounters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

There are no bells and whistles. It is not visually appealing and it cannot truly customize your individual needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

If you’re looking for customization or specification in terms of provider specialty and experience then this is probably not the EHR. If you’re just looking to set up an EHR and maintain records this does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meditech Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using an EHR is a must for a large healthcare organization. Easier to manage and maintain records, and share information with other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

Personally have worked with so many softwares while in this industry but the thing that i find good about this particular software is that it reduces the errors made when one had to record all patient information manually on paper, but with this it is electronically, the software also enables the patients to be treated more accurately as the user can access all patient information from it, the software also can recognize and predict diagnosis enabling one to give accurate treatment and lastly is that the software is able to keep patient data safe and not easily accessible by third party. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

Personally the only thing i dislike about the software is that it requires electricity to be run fully, i think they should come up with a way that it can even fit on smartphones so that it can be easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

The software can help a healthcare facility a great deal in storing and sharing of patient information and data, i highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple user interface, very good for use with complicated tasks. Easy to get to any task within a few clicks. Can be logged on to multiple work stations around the lab which is great for efficiency. Very fast at loading most tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

Sometimes can lag due to high volume, could use some more customization features that would help different users be more efficient. Hot keys would be helpful as well, if there was one for a certain page I could quickly get to that screen asap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

Use multiple screens Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meditech Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving problem of communication between various health professionals for results and history of patient. Benefit of saving lots of time and work that can be used for more important issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

Meditech is very easy and convenient to navigate through. This is a hospital-wide used software system that is the same in all departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

I don't like the same thing with all technology is that there are often times glitches or downtime that cause errors to arise. I don't like that sometimes there are users that are able to access certain information, but then it isn't available for others. It is always a hassle to go through the process of gaining access to information when you are moving to another position or gaining privileges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

I would recommend to enhance the software system to alert users when they are in the patient's chart that has a similar name or birthday to another patient that could be easily confused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meditech Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have realized that meditech ehr does help with the time spent when treating patients it makes records much faster and easier to navigate to ensure that they get the best care possible in the right amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

The best thing about Meditech is the ease of use when it comes to the functions. It looks very much like an old DOS system which can be very familiar, but it runs just like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

It's so slow and doesn't look as modern as the EHRs we have today Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meditech Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?

While Meditech looks like it's something of the past, its ease of use and familiarity makes it simple to do the tasks you need to do without all the bells and whistles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

It was fairly easy to learn to navigate it all. Easy to locates physician notes. Pretty easy to document, they do have a copy and paste feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

It is not as comprehensive for charting as other systems are. It has strict pre-filled options when often times what you need to chart does not fall under those descriptors. There are nurse double checks for unnecessary things that cause some wasted time. The task list is the worst. In order to find more sections that you need to document on, you have to "add" them to the task list. And nothing flows between sections. Some areas will ask the same documentation questions, and even if you have already filled it out somewhere else, you have to duplicate documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

If you can afford it, use EPIC. or if not, Cerner as second choice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meditech Expanse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to document on patients as we care for them. Better than paper charting though, that's for sure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
