I have no financial relationships with any EHR vendor, but feel a great affinity for the vendors in Massachusetts – eClinicalWorks, AthenaHealth and Meditech.
For the past few years, I’ve suggested to Meditech that cloud hosted, standards-based, web-centric and mobile enabled hospital information systems would be very welcome by the marketplace.
The industry has had a mixed reaction to Meditech version 6, a proprietary, non-standard, non-web, non-cloud, non-mobile, client/server application that requires complete hardware and software replacement when upgrading from version 5.
I spent last Monday afternoon at Meditech and can tell you that they have listened to industry feedback (and my obsessive focus on web-based applications).
The Meditech senior team demonstrated version 6.1, a cloud hosted, standards-based, web-centric, mobile enabled, ambulatory and inpatient, analytics backed, personal health record enabled, and care managed focused application that will be shipping in 2014.
What did I see?

A Story of Meaningful Use and Stage 6 Achievement.
Hilo Medical Center’s (Hilo, HI) partnership with MEDITECH and commitment to providing quality care leads to Stage 6 and Meaningful Use recognition.
A lot can happen in three years—just ask 6.x customer Hilo Medical Center (HMC) on the Big Island of Hawai’i, the 276-bed facility with the state’s second busiest emergency department.
In 2010, HMC became the first state-run hospital in the Hawai’i Health Systems Corporation (HHSC) to implement an Electronic Health Record (EHR), training over 800 employees and 100 physicians. In just a few short years, not only did the organization make the transition from all-paper documentation to MEDITECH’s integrated 6.x EHR, but also achieved Meaningful Use Stage 1 at HMC, Ka’u Hospital (a 21-bed critical access hospital), and Hale Ho’ola Hamakua (a 77-bed critical access hospital)—two other HHSC facilities in the East Hawaii Region.

MEDITECH’s 6.0 Electronic Health Record v6.07 Receives ONC-ACB Certification by Drummond Group for 2014 Edition.
MEDITECH 6.0 Electronic Health Record Version 6.07 has been tested and certified under the Drummond Group’s Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) program. This EHR software is compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Drummond Group’s ONC-ACB certification program certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology – a key component of the federal government’s push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. health care providers.

To say that Randy McCleese believes in the power of education is an understatement. He holds four degrees, served as an adjust instructor for 10 years, and holds a CHCIO certification. “If you’re not learning something new, you and your organization have become stagnant,” he said in a recent interview, during which McCleese discussed St. Claire’s journey from best-of-breed to an integrated system, the organization’s three-pronged approach to Meaningful Use, the ACO path it is pursuing with Bon Secours Health System, and its involvement in the Northern Kentucky RHIO and the Kentucky HIE. McCleese also talks about St. Claire’s telemedicine work, which includes school-based programs, why he carves out time for public policy activities, his involvement in CHIME, and how he went from a field geologist to a CIO.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
- Kentucky HIE — “They’re doing a good job matching patient data”
- Working with UK to connect schools with primary care clinics
- Why telehealth is “sputtering”
- Dividing & conquering MU

DOCTORS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL PRESENTS:
Challenges and Triumphs in 6.x
May 28, 1 pm – 5 pm
Registration fee $40
Doctors Community Hospital has been a MEDITECH site since 1994, first on the Magic platform and, since December of 2011, using 6.05. Prior to the 6.0 conversion, the hospital had been running a third-party vendor’s’ EMR/CPOE in the Emergency Department and another in the OR. These applications went to MEDITECH with the 6.0 conversion. With all the changes afoot within the healthcare information technology industry, as soon as the conversion was complete, the facility moved quickly through a number of other significant implementations and projects, including:
- hospital-wide, mandatory electronic documentation for all physicians
- successful “Meaningful Use” attestation
- the new HR application
- a new supply system
- first-ever CPOE go-live on inpatient units
- successful completion of first Joint Commission survey since converting to 6.0
This site visit describes in detail these projects, including breakout tracks and department/unit tours.
