MEDITECH is proud to announce it will extend its 20-year partnership with Steward Health Care System, which recently signed to implement the company's innovative EHR in 18 sites located across Arizona, Texas, Utah, Arkansas and Louisiana. This decision is a part of Steward's "One Platform" strategy to bring all 35 hospitals under a single EHR.

"We are thrilled to continue our dynamic relationship with MEDITECH, a trusted and long-time partner that has continued to innovate and evolve with us as we've grown nationally," said Julie Berry, chief information officer at Steward Health Care. "MEDITECH's integrated workflow tools and Revenue Cycle solutions will help Steward continue its efforts to transform care delivery and maximize operational efficiency across the organization."

Since its founding, Steward has committed to transforming patient care with cutting-edge technologies in the communities it serves. With a consolidated EHR, Steward can streamline communication across all facilities, improving patient care and increasing patient safety.

"MEDITECH is honored to continue our collaborative partnership with Steward Health Care System.
