MEDITECH systems are
designed for care without walls. Home care data and
activities are coordinated with the care provided at
hospitals and medical practices to foster a well
coordinated, patient-centric approach to care
delivery. Your organization is able to report on home
care both as a distinct agency and (when used in
combination with MEDITECH's Data Repository product)
as part of an overall health care enterprise.
MEDITECH's home care products are used at more than
300 health care organizations today. The products
include:

Care
without Walls
Patient
treatment does not always end with hospital discharge, as
more and more patients are being referred to home care
agencies for ongoing treatment. As such, the ability to
incorporate home care information into the patient's
electronic record is vital to obtaining a complete picture
of a patient's health. MEDITECH's Home Care solution
integrates critical patient information across the acute
care, home health, and hospice settings, helping care
providers better monitor their patients' progress and
treat chronic conditions.
