CANTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Two critical access hospitals in Idaho, St. Mary’s Health (Cottonwood) and Clearwater Valley Health (Orofino), have partnered to implement a shared MEDITECH Expanse EHR across their hospitals and associated clinics. The organizations will leverage their collaborative management approach — which spans over two decades — to implement the new intelligent platform using the MEDITECH as a Service subscription model..

马萨诸塞州坎顿市。-（商业新闻短讯）--爱达荷州的两家关键接入医院，圣玛丽健康医院（科顿伍德）和清水谷健康医院（奥罗菲诺），已合作在其医院和相关诊所实施共享医疗技术扩展EHR。这些组织将利用其跨越二十年的协作管理方法，使用MEDITECH作为服务订阅模式实施新的智能平台。。

MaaS enables a rapid, cloud-based deployment, ideal for rural health organizations that may lack sufficient IT resources and upfront capital to deploy and maintain an industry-leading EHR like Expanse.

MaaS能够实现快速、基于云的部署，非常适合可能缺乏足够IT资源和前期资金来部署和维护行业领先的类似EHR规模的农村卫生组织。

“We’ve built a reputation for exceptional and compassionate care. To live up to that, we needed an EHR partner that would align with our core values of safety, compassion, and engagement,” said CEO Lenne Bonner, who oversees both organizations.

负责监管这两个组织的首席执行官莱恩·邦纳（LenneBonner）表示：“我们在卓越和富有同情心的护理方面建立了声誉。要做到这一点，我们需要一个符合我们安全、同情心和敬业精神核心价值观的EHR合作伙伴。”。

“MEDITECH checked all the boxes, providing us with an EHR that can connect hospitals, clinics, and most importantly, patients across our close-knit communities. This technology will help to improve the care process for everyone.”

“MEDITECH检查了所有的框，为我们提供了一个EHR，可以连接医院、诊所，最重要的是，可以连接我们紧密联系的社区中的患者。这项技术将有助于改善每个人的护理流程。”

Patient engagement is central to St. Mary’s and Clearway Valley’s missions, as their rural populations often live a distance from the nearest hospital or clinic. Deploying a single patient portal across all facilities will enable patients to better manage their care from home, as they can complete questionnaires, submit health metrics, message their care team, and participate in virtual visits with providers online.

患者参与是圣玛丽和克利韦谷使命的核心，因为他们的农村人口通常离最近的医院或诊所很远。在所有设施中部署一个单一的患者门户将使患者能够更好地在家中管理他们的护理，因为他们可以完成问卷调查，提交健康指标，向他们的护理团队发送信息，并参与与在线提供者的虚拟访视。

The organizations will also use Expanse Patient Connect to communicate securely and bi-directionally with patients via text messaging, with appointment reminders and overdue health maintenance notifications..

这些组织还将使用Expanse Patient Connect通过短信、预约提醒和过期健康维护通知与患者进行安全双向的沟通。。

While the organizations previously used different EHRs across their hospitals and clinics, MEDITECH Expanse will provide them with a single patient record across care settings, including their Level 4 Trauma Centers, for more holistic patient care. They will also be able to combine their expertise to roll out a core set of evidence-based standards across all facilities..

虽然这些组织之前在其医院和诊所使用了不同的EHR，但MEDITECH Expanse将为他们提供跨护理环境的单一患者记录，包括他们的4级创伤中心，以实现更全面的患者护理。他们还将能够结合自己的专业知识，在所有设施中推出一套核心的循证标准。。

“Our new Expanse EHR will provide us with a strong foundation of evidence-based care while leveraging the latest advancements in clinical decision support and AI,” CMO Dr. Kelly McGrath explained. “But just as importantly, it gives us the flexibility to tailor our best practices to the unique needs of our communities.

CMO Kelly McGrath博士解释说：“我们新的Expanse EHR将为我们提供强大的循证护理基础，同时利用临床决策支持和人工智能的最新进展。”。“但同样重要的是，它使我们能够灵活地根据社区的独特需求调整最佳做法。

Not all hosted solutions provide critical access hospitals with this same level of autonomy, which is essential for us and the communities we serve.”.

并非所有托管解决方案都能为关键接入医院提供相同程度的自主权，这对我们和我们服务的社区至关重要。”。

St. Mary’s and Clearwater Valley also partner with Kootenai Health, for critically ill patients or those who require more advanced specialty care. Since Kootenai currently uses another vendor’s EHR, MEDITECH’s Traverse interoperability solution was essential to their decision.

圣玛丽和清水谷也与Kootenai Health合作，为重症患者或需要更高级专科护理的患者提供服务。。

“With Traverse, our providers will be able to securely exchange patient records between facilities and embed this content directly within a provider’s native workflow,” said Executive Director, IT Strategic Partnership Ben Zumhoff. “This connectivity will enable our patients to safely and conveniently travel back and forth between facilities — or see specialists through telemedicine — and have their records follow them wherever they go.”.

IT战略合作伙伴执行董事Ben Zumhoff说：“通过Traverse，我们的提供商将能够在设施之间安全地交换患者记录，并将这些内容直接嵌入提供商的本地工作流程中。”。“这种连接将使我们的患者能够安全方便地在设施之间来回旅行-或者通过远程医疗看专家-并且无论他们走到哪里都有他们的记录。”。

Clearwater Valley Health and St. Mary’s Health currently serve the healthcare needs of people across Clearwater, Idaho, and Lewis counties, providing more than 45,000 outpatient visits annually.

Clearwater Valley Health和St.Mary's Health目前服务于Clearwater，爱达荷州和刘易斯县人民的医疗保健需求，每年提供超过45000次门诊就诊。
