MEDITECH’s MaaS platform was selected for the ease of support
and implementation services and long-term value to the
community
Preferred Management Corporation (Shawnee, OK) has signed to
deploy MEDITECH’s Expanse EHR through the company’s
subscription-based MEDITECH as a Service platform (MaaS). The
cloud-native solution will provide the hospital management
organization with one standardized EHR across its seven hospitals
and nine clinics throughout Texas.
Preferred Management partners with rural communities to deliver
high-quality healthcare services, with a strong focus on
strengthening rural hospitals and medical clinics. The
organization’s selection of MEDITECH Expanse allows it to stay true
to its 37-year mission of improving care for its patients.
With the challenges of increasing operating costs and dwindling
reimbursement, Preferred Management CFO Josh Tucker sees the shift
to Expanse as a strong investment in the communities they serve.
“After a thorough evaluation process, we selected MEDITECH Expanse
as the best partner, offering solutions and scalability for today
and into the future. We felt that MEDITECH will provide greater
efficiencies for our team and expanded resources for our
patients.”
Speaking more about the benefits of implementing Expanse,
Preferred Management Executive Vice President Jared Chanski noted,
“we anticipate MEDITECH to be a long-term partner with their proven
track record of success. Our move to the cloud will provide us with
the high level of integration we have needed to enhance patient
care within our hospitals and clinics.”
Preferred Management will deploy a unified set of standards,
which will be implemented across facilities using a phased
approach. They found MEDITECH’s MaaS model appealing because it
offers a customized, hands-on implementation strategy for deploying
advanced EHR capabilities.
“We are excited to move from multiple systems to one unified
solution that allows us to standardize workflows across our
facilities, while also providing the autonomy and flexibility to
cater to each hospital’s and clinic’s unique needs,” explains
Preferred Management EHR Clinical Informatics Nurse Laura Bass, who
is overseeing the project.
The organization’s ability to now integrate patient records in
Expanse across the hospital, clinic, and ED will also help
facilitate patient-centered care. A major benefit of this
integration is the deployment of a patient portal to improve
patient engagement and quality of care across their communities.
The portal will include the ability for patients to schedule their
own appointments online, access their lab results, and complete the
necessary paperwork prior to arrival.
“We are excited to welcome Preferred Management Corporation to
our MaaS community,” says MEDITECH Vice President of Client
Services for MaaS Carol Labadini. “We align with their mission of
empowering rural community hospitals to provide innovative
healthcare while maintaining their independence for the betterment
of their communities.”
