As part of our commitment to the highest degree of quality and safety in all that we do, we’ve upgraded our electronic medical record (EMR) to a system called Meditech Expanse.

We went live Saturday, June 1 at 9:45 a.m. thanks to a tremendous effort by teams across the hospital.

The EMR is what we use to track important client information including doctor’s notes, prescriptions, test results and appointments. The upgrade creates a more user-friendly system that will enhance our ability to partner with families to provide excellent, safe, high-quality care. 

As we adjust to the new system here are a few things families should be aware of:

• As we learn the new system, you may wish to allow extra time for your appointments. In addition, scheduling future appointments will take longer than usual.  
• From the period of approximately May 20 – June 24, 2019, the number of in-patient admissions, inpatient respite opportunities, sleep assessments, day program admissions and out-patient appointments will be reduced. 

Thank you for your understanding and partnership. Your patience is appreciated.
