Today, KLAS Research has released its much anticipated and latest Performance Insights report, titled MEDITECH Implementation Services 2021: Which Firms Are Driving Successful Implementations? The report highlights the organizations who are consistently providing high-quality MEDITECH services, through interviews conducted over the last 18 months.

Engage, a Tegria company, congratulates Hampton Regional Medical Center (HRMC) on their successful Go-LIVE of MEDITECH Expanse October 1, 2021. The 32-bed hospital migrated from MEDITECH MAGIC in the acute setting and MPM in the ambulatory environment. HRMC is a not-for-profit community hospital governed by a local board of directors and located in Varnville, South Carolina.

The ongoing impacts of the pandemic aren’t just being felt on the frontline – 60% of healthcare providers are facing clinical support staff coverage challenges because of COVID-19. As the staffing shortage pinch gets tighter and burnout rates continue to skyrocket, new ways of working will be required, and the digital transformation of care delivery and hospital operations will become increasingly prevalent as a cost-effective solution.

Disaster recovery (DR) had long been a challenge for Exeter Hospital. Back in the early 2000s Exeter Hospital realized  it was so dependent on its MEDITECH EHR for continued operations that it needed to find a way to ensure its  availability in case of a disaster. Despite considerable investments in infrastructure, resulting in two setups, numerous  server racks, multiple manuals, and physical boxes of information hosted in both data centers, there did not appear to  be a way for the hospital to complete a successful DR test.  

Earlier this year, Engage was fortunate to be recognized as a leader in health information technology (HIT) thanks to our multiple Best in KLAS awards. While the recognition is excellent, what matters most to us is what the KLAS Awards stand for. The Best in KLAS report is compiled from feedback from thousands of providers and recognizes “software and services companies who excel in helping healthcare professionals improve patient care.”

Help desks and service centers are rich with data, especially for health systems. With all of that data to consider for your providers and staff, how can you establish benchmarks and know whether your providers and staff are getting the system support you paid for? And how will you know if your EHR analysts are able to focus on the complex innovative projects you need in order to grow your organization?

Engage, a Tegria company, is pleased to announce that KLAS has identified Engage as a leader for their response to the COVID-19 crisis in their recent report, Vendor Performance in Response to the COVID-19.

In late 2019 Val Verde Regional Medical Center (VVRMC) closed the contract with their previous IT services vendor and made plans to implement MEDITECH in February 2020. It soon became apparent that they did not have sufficient internal resources, personnel, or expertise to successfully execute the implementation in an on-premises environment, so began looking for a remote hosting partner for their MEDITECH implementation. VVRMC decided to partner with Engage, a Tegria company, for remote hosting in Engage’s cloud environment.

Join us on April 27th to hear Beauregard Health System (BHS) discuss their MEDITECH Expanse implementation supported by cloud hosting with Engage. You will hear how their software delivery was received on the same day that COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and how cloud hosting enabled their implementation to continue during a subsequent transition to a remote-work environment even with the impacts of direct hits from Hurricanes Laura and Delta. Senior leadership from both Engage and BHS will discuss how flexibility, communication, collaboration and cloud hosting helped BHS reach the finish line for their implementation, even in the face of nearly insurmountable challenges.

San Luis Valley Health (SLVH) was dissatisfied with its current electronic health record (EHR) technology.

As a non-profit, community hospital, financial stability is a principal concern to SLVH, whose payer mix is comprised of 70 percent Medicare/Medicaid. SLVH considered a number of EHR solutions, but selected MEDITECH because it provided a single, comprehensive and integrated health record that’s highly credible and affordable.
