Innovative Partnership Paves the Way for Successful MEDITECH 6.15 Large Scale Implementation

After 10 years of operating on two different platforms, Thomas Memorial Hospital (TMH) and its sister hospital, Saint Francis, determined it was time to transition to a single EHR, revenue cycle and financial system platform. Prior to their partnership with CereCore, TMH was operating on the Siemens platform and Saint Francis was operating on MEDITECH MAGIC. Migrating Thomas Health to a single MEDITECH 6.15 platform was a large scale implementation that provided a single patient record across the two hospitals. Thomas Health had complex needs that required a hosted MEDITECH system, legacy support of the old platforms, as well as hosting and integration of various third party applications across both sites.

Thomas Health needed a partner highly proficient in consolidating a system, staff and resources with disparate applications and varying product lines. This project required a restructure of both hospitals’ IT departments and as a result, a significant culture change across the organization. Moreover, it was important to Thomas Health that they act as an enterprise instead of two separate hospitals. It was clear that they needed the right MEDITECH leadership, expertise and experience to consolidate their systems to take advantage of economies of scale and better serve their community.
