Comanche County Memorial Hospital CEO Brent Smith said: “This is a long-term investment in our hospital’s infrastructure, as well as in the health and wellness of our community.
“We knew we needed a single EHR platform that could evolve with us, not hold us back. MEDITECH delivered on that promise, offering robust capabilities, strong support, and a true vision for long-term partnership.”
Clinicians previously faced challenges accessing complete patient information due to incompatible systems.
CCMH chief medical officer Dr Scott Michener said: “This created significant challenges for physicians, who were unable to access critical patient information, such as notes from a specialist or primary care provider, leading to inefficiencies and potential gaps in continuity of care.
