A Rural Hospital Embedded in the Community Benefits from a Consolidated EHR
Description
Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers is quite small: an independent, rural system of clinics including an 89-bed hospital. Yet the system is the largest employer in Morris, IL. In this interview, Kim Landers, their Vice President of Patient Care and Chief Nurse Executive, explains how they remain relevant and solvent, and the aid provided by moving to the MEDITECH Expanse online platform.
While always having used MEDITECH as their EHR, Morris went online with Expanse in 2023. This move brought together all departments, which had previously used four different platforms. The unification of records was especially important in pulling together the ambulatory and in-patient settings.
