Summary
UPMC Ireland has announced the implementation of the MEDITECH Expanse electronic patient record (EPR) system to improve healthcare delivery across its facilities. The 10-year contract, finalized in April 2025, includes the deployment of the system at four hospitals, two cancer centers, and six sports medicine clinics, with implementation starting in the summer of 2025 and a planned go-live by the end of 2026. The unified platform aims to enhance patient care by streamlining processes and providing clinicians with necessary tools, while also improving patient engagement through a dedicated portal for accessing health information and managing appointments.
