Meditech: What It Is – And What It Isn’t
I love Meditech. I’m what you might consider a Meditech lifer. For more than 15 years, I worked in a hospital that had Meditech across almost every area of the hospital. And, I was lucky enough to get both the clinical and IT perspectives – I first came on as a nurse actually using the system, and eventually transitioned to be an IT analyst and manager. Through this experience, I learned that not everyone feels the same way about Meditech as I do. For me, it was stable, integrated and has great reporting capabilities. It was there for me when I needed it, and it got the job done. But what I quickly found out was that because Meditech was our go-to system for almost everything, people often accused it of lacking in certain areas. As I heard these conversations, it became my personal mission to defend my loyal Meditech system. And then it hit me.
