Switching your electronic health record system is a multi-year journey that derails clinical workflows. Instead of taking on a massive migration, health systems are freezing their budgets and betting on short-term AI pilots instead. Healthcare IT Today sat down with Paul Warburton, Senior Market Research Analyst at KLAS Research, to dissect the latest US Acute Care EHR Market Share Report. We break down why large health systems logged zero major migration decisions last year and where IT budgets are actually moving. You will get a clear look at how the market share of Epic, Oracle, and MEDITECH has shifted this past year.

EHR downtime is inevitable. Cyberattacks, network outages, and even planned system upgrades can disrupt access to patient records, placing care delivery, patient safety, and operations at risk.In this video, Jackie Rice, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Frederick Health, shares how her organization proactively prepared for EHR downtime by moving away from paper-based workflows to a near real-time digital environment that mirrors the EHR user experience. Ryan Dickerson, President of IPeople Healthcare (now part of RLDatix), explains how a purpose-built data resiliency solution supports safe, uninterrupted care during both planned and unplanned outages.Built for MEDITECH EHR environments, IPeople's Offline Suite captures near real-time clinical data in a secure on‑premises system, with optional cloud replication. When the primary EHR or local network is unavailable, clinicians maintain uninterrupted access to critical patient information through familiar workflows, without reverting to paper-based processes.Watch to learn how healthcare organizations are safeguarding patient safety, reducing operational risk, and ensuring readiness for EHR downtime.Learn more about iPeople Healthcare: https://www.ipeople.com/Learn more about Frederick Health: https://www.frederickhealth.org/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Thibodaux Regional Health System, a Louisiana health system with both a hospital and clinics, has focused on process improvement to pursue what they call “patient-centered excellence.” In this video, CEO Greg Stock and CIO Bryan Samaha talk about their use of the MEDITECH EHR and how they are reducing errors and improving clinical quality.Advantages they cite for MEDITECH include the balance between a relatively low operating cost and proven results, as well as the ability to maintain their own autonomy over their EHR without being at the mercy of another health system. The latter advantage allows them to maintain control over downtime, updates, the flexibility of the EHR, and other operations. Stock refers to the partnership as a “marriage between a hospital and an IT system,” which now spans 24 years.Learn more about Thibodaux Regional Health System: https://www.thibodaux.com/Learn more about MEDITECH: https://ehr.meditech.com/

Our recent interview was all about measurements. The Wooster Community Hospital Health System in Wayne County, Ohio achieved a 20% improvement in their nurses' satisfaction with their MEDITECH EHR after a six-month effort. This video, interviewing Eric Gasser, Vice President of Information Systems and CIO, shows how statistics and survey data made that achievement possible.Gasser says that Wooster offers high quality care and has won awards. Yet, always interested in doing better, they took up a suggestion by MEDITECH to join the KLAS Arch Collaborative. As part of that collaborative, they surveyed their clinicians. Although they were mostly happy with their jobs, nurses found documentation to be a burden.Learn more about Wooster: https://www.woosterhospital.org/Learn more about MEDITECH: https://ehr.meditech.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Travel RN Coach (@lindseys_leisures), Lindsey, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent viral video in which a patient made alarming threats against their former ER nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center. The repeated threats included very specific identifying details of the nurse's family, begging the question, how were they able to find this information?   The answer lies in The 21st Century Cures Act, first passed in 2016. Many medical professionals remain unaware of The Cures Act. And patients often do not understand the complications it poses to their care. Why do patients have access to nurses' full names? Is this a safety risk that employers should mitigate? What role do electronic health records, like Epic, Cerner, or Meditech play? Should patients have real-time access to their medical records? Join us as we break down The Cures Act and it's ramifications.    References: https://www.congress.gov/114/bills/hr34/BILLS-114hr34enr.pdf National Public Radio (NPR): Winners and losers with the 21st Century Cures bill. http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/12/02/504139105/winners-and-losers-if-21st-century-cures-bill-becomes-law.    Follow Lindsey: https://www.tiktok.com/@lindseys_leisures?_t=8k1XIaaTQr9&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/lindseys_leisures?igsh=MTd5Z2tleHdwYXJsbg== https://lindseysleisures.net/ https://youtube.com/@lindseys_leisures?si=LiWRkky8bgNVbera   New episodes of Nurses Uncorked every Tuesday.

To say LifePoint Health is a large healthcare system is like saying Nashville has a few good country music bands. Per its website, LifePoint's healthcare delivery network spans 29 states and includes 62 community hospital campuses, 33 rehabilitation and behavioral health hospitals, and more than 170 additional sites of care across the healthcare continuum including acute rehabilitation units, outpatient centers, and post-acute care facilities. With that size and diversity comes incredible complexity and challenges. These include multiple EHRs (Epic, Cerner, MEDHOST, Meditech) and upwards of 16 different versions of said EHRs, including 9-10 versions of Meditech alone. Fortunately Angie Comfort is there to help run the show. How does she manage it all? How did she go from coal miner's daughter in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia (no relation to Loretta Lynn) to Assistant Vice President of HIM Operations where she oversees a staff of 300? And find time to work on her Doctorate's in Business Administration, in progress? You can't call her Dr. Comfort—yet. That's coming soon. We talk about an incredible career arc that has taken her from reviewing ER documentation for missing signatures, to outpatient coder at Stuttgart Regional Medical Center, to Community Health System's very first coder at the corporate office (where she ultimately trained 600 coders in ICD-10), to Senior Director of HIM Practice Excellence at AHIMA, and finally to her present role. With many fun side detours along the way, as I'm wont to do. Angie has seen it all but is not stuck in the past—80s nostalgia aside—and thinks remote coding and CDI work has been a blessing for the industry. She talks about what got her to make the leap to leadership, including the help of a mentor. Hers is a story of paying your dues in a remarkable climb to the top—and using her influence to give back, including in her personal life with The General Federation of Women's Clubs. What is Angie's EHR of choice and, just as importantly, what is her favorite Def Leppard song and first ever concert? Tune in to find out.

Jim Collins talks about the inspiration for the MEDITECH Computer Science Building. Sited near the decaying mills of Fall River's industrial past, this computer science building for a leading health informatics software company is part of a new 17-acre campus on the Fall River waterfront. The program called for open office areas, conference and meeting spaces, and a full kitchen and dining area. The design is organized around a south-facing atrium which visually connects the building's four levels and a continuous curved glass wall facing the water.

I mean, my dad wasn't in the tech industry, but he was sort of like, you know, one of the like the early like early adopters of computers getting really excited about it. So, you know, like the old school, like Prodigy Service and.Ben: Oh, yeah, yeah. Prodigy, yeah. Yeah. I forget sometimes that, that was like - really that was lucky. I had a lucky break there was exposed to this thing early on.Quote 02:Ben: College is really fun. I think you should probably go. There are not a lot of times where you're going to get to do what you get to do in college, and it's an amazing life experience, so you should probably do it from that perspective. Try not to go into a ton of debt to do it because it's probably not worth that unless you're in a... I mean, if you're a major in computer science, you can probably pay off your loans to probably be successful there.But I think you should mostly like my opinion of college is like it's mostly a boondoggle financed by your parents slash the government. And so you should like go and have that incredible experience because it is really fun and like living by yourself for the first time, it's great. So I think there's a lot of lessons and like enjoyment to be had there, but if you're not that into that idea and you're just like, I want to know how to like make it make things like I would, I would say like a computer science degree is probably the slowest path to that And like a boot camp is going to be a much betterthe choice for you. Brian: Yeah, for sure. I agree with that.Quote 03:Ben: In terms of like workflows or skill sets that kind of unlocked super powers that lasted the rest of your career like that. Like, for me, that's one of them was like the ability to, figure out how to build something, you know? Hmm. It's hard to break it down I mean, I learned so many. I feel like I basically went from programming because it's like I touched on there really was not that much programming in my computer science degree.There was some, but not a lot Um, I was doing some programming at Meditech, but not like, not any sort of modern programming. And so when I joined this place, it's called Dana-Farber. It's a cancer research institute, but I joined Dana-Farber. I was actually writing Ruby-on-Rails app next to somebody kind of all day long, and we would like like a program like, like, I would plug a keyboard into his computer and we would sit next to each other, and we were like, tackle things together.And he would review all my play requests and gave me a ton of feedback and, um, being right next to a like person that cared a lot about the craft of programming and knew a lot about it was really what actually turned me into. Like a software engineer, like someone who could make something happen for real because there's like, there's, there's like 5000 things around programming that are involved to like, actually like get a product out the door.And so it's not just like, do you understand Ruby syntax? Do you know what the object hierarchy looks like? It's like, yeah, sure. That's part of it. But there's like a million other things along that goes with it. This is around when I started learning them, for example, which became a pretty core part of my toolkit.I'm still a VIM user today, like years later. More than a decade later.Brian: Yeah.
