Earlier this month (November), we had the privilege of welcoming our colleague from Beacon Hospital in Ireland to Emanate Health here in Southern California. This visit gave us space to reflect – not only on our MEDITECH Expanse journey, but also on the unique perspectives that emerge when two healthcare systems, shaped by very different countries, come together. Ireland and the United States operate within distinct healthcare landscapes. Different regulations, cultures, patient expectations, and funding models all influence how systems are designed and how technology gets implemented. Before the visit, I found myself wondering how relevant our experiences ...

By Peter White posted 08-15-2024
Having just completed an extremely complex deployment of Expanse 2.1 in September 2023, I was invited to speak at the MEDITECH User Network conference in Liverpool, UK.
