Lawrence General and Holy Family Hospitals have taken a giant technology-focused leap forward with its integrated system-wide rollout of launch of Expanse, MEDITECH’s patient-centered Electronic Health Record (EHR).
The move to MEDITECH Expanse provides many benefits to our hospital system and to the community we serve. Lawrence General and Holy Family have a long-standing commitment to providing exceptional care to our patients, and this new platform will enable us to deliver for many years to come.
We are proud to be able to make this change across our system, which is in line with our efforts to stabilize, preserve, and enhance health care access in the Merrimack Valley by creating a unified regional health care system. This is an important milestone in Holy Family’s integration with Lawrence General and reinforces our commitment to coordinated high-quality care.
This unified platform fully integrates Lawrence General and Holy Family Hospitals by providing a single patient record and one billing statement, making experiences more seamless and efficient for both patients and employees.
Our teams are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Patients’ care, comfort, and confidence in our system remain our top priority as we move forward together.
Ensuring a smooth patient experience is important to us. And we know that the right technology can make a big difference. Here are some of the ways that MEDITECH Expanse will improve your experience at our hospitals:
- A single electronic medication record, allergy record, and medical history ensures patient safety and supports informed clinical decision making
- You get more face time with your doctors, when they can place orders, document, and review information at the point of care.
- Virtual visits enable patients to stay connected with their providers, even when lack of transportation or mobility issues prevent them from seeing their doctor in person.
- With the convenient online Patient Portal, patients can easily manage their own conditions, view test results and histories, contact their PCP, and request medication refills between visits.
- The MHealth app makes it easy for patients to share self-generated health data with their providers, bring family members or health proxies up to date, and manage their wellness journey, using any smartphone or web-enabled device.
