MEDITECH Expanse EHR Software Implementation<\/a> at Southern Ohio Medical Center resulted in enhancing C. difficile testing process leading to quick disease detection and a reduction in canceled tests.<\/p>\n

Benefits of MEDITECH Expanse EMR software implementation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The medical center implemented new Expanse workflows and tools solutions earlier this year. The hospital has realized a 30% relative change in hospital-acquired infection of C. difficile and a 32% relative change in canceled tests.<\/p>\n
