What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

It's easy enough to navigate through menus clearly in a way that makes sense. For what I use it for, it meets the basic minimum requirements. I know it can be utilized for more and pushed to give you access to data that you are looking for. For ordering supplies and accessing the database in our store room, it works to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

The search capabilities are limited and clunky. It isn't easy to find things you're looking for with seemingly obvious keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

It's basic software that will show your data in a basic way. Nothing fancy about Meditech. It's easy enough to use and there is probably more that can be done to push it further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We utilized it for ordering purposes. Departments all over could access the inventory of the store room. It keeps the data updated in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

Meditech's UI is pretty nice. Its font is big and all text is easily legible. It's easy to learn, especially for those older nurses with whom I work. I also like the timing system where certain tasks are assigned to certain times that you must complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

The system doesn't easily connect with other outside sources. For example, in comparison, I know Epic can easily connect to say a glucometer and the results from the glucometer pop up in Epic. In Meditech I do not believe that is possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

I would say to definitely take a look into Epic before purchasing Meditech. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used Meditech as a Registered Nurse at a community hospital. I use it for documentation purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

I like the fact that Meditech can keep track of a wide variety of information on many different people and generate some helpful reports. It's fairly easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

I feel like the app is very slow, and I know the work processors aren't ancient, so I'm guessing the program software is laggy. I also feel like some tasks could be more straightforward and easy to access. There are some redundancies in the way data is kept. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

Make sure it goes well with current systems, especially if you're needing to use it cross application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We keep client records on Meditech that feed into our own proprietary system. It has helped to organize some essential records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Now that we have upgraded to Meditech 6.15, our healthcare facilities are all documenting in the same spot. There is only one patient record instead of some electronic and some paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

Web-based 6.15 Ambulatory interface for front office staff is easier to use than previous versions. However, this seems to only apply to those who are used to technology updates and advancements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

Meditech's inability to work with clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

This system has been a pain, to say the least. We lost the ability to create our own patch fixes and modules so we have to wait for the company to create and deploy anything we need. They are not timely and tend to give priority to other clients. It has been a struggle for both our clinical and non-clinical departments. The Finance and Human Resources modules are laughable and create more work than they are worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a system that previously utilized a prior version of Meditech, we purchased a new version to streamline our processes and have all clinics and departments on the same EHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meditech Expanse?

The interface is super quick, which quick short-cut keys (like F9) to get to where you need to be.

The data security is top-notch, and all of the EMR screens and Provider orders load quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

It's very keyboard dependent, and a lot of the choices don't work with mouse clicks. I understand the desire for speed and keyboard funcationality, but some mouse clicks are easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meditech Expanse:

I didn't participate in the implementation roll-out, but I was told it was a rough one. It's powerful software, so be sure to get your ducks lined up before you roll it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeping patient records, bed management, meds, allergies, discharge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meditech Expanse?

I don't like how outdated it seems to look compared to Epic. My hospital is thinking of switching from Meditech to Epic because you can't edit things Live (at the same time) from remote locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are tracking patient data in Meditech and creating medical charts to easily distribute to doctors and patients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
