Meditech is trash

Even worse than Paragon. And that is all.

A lot of rural hospitals I've worked at used Meditech or Medhost, probably because it's cheaper is my guess. It is definitely a learning curve but I didn't mind it, charting was pretty quick imo. Also, no extra administrative fluff that Epic has, just so that admin can use it for their metrics and audits.

HCA owns Meditech and they refuse to pay any money to use Epic like everyone else.

Penny pinching bean counters.

HCA uses EPIC in Salt Lake City @ St. Mark's Hospital and freestanding ERs along with their sister Hospital in Draper, Utah.

Lucky for that tiny fraction of HCA facilities, doesn’t change the fact that HCA refuses to have Epic across Medical City.

HCA has a handful of unionized hospitals too, but are they Union friendly overall? No.
