Milford Regional Medical Center’s New Electronic Medical Record System Goes Live

Milford Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce the successful implementation of a new MEDITECH Expanse electronic medical record (EMR) system. The Go-Live date took effect October 1, 2020.

This state-of-the-art EMR platform enhances patient care through a full integration of their medical information within the hospital that allows clinicians to view one continuous record throughout their stay. The quality of care and safety is positively impacted through an improved patient and provider experience.  Patients’ medical information in both the inpatient and outpatient setting are now coalesced within one record.  In addition, the EMR increases the safety of care delivery through enhanced clinical decision support, improved access to information, improved transitions, improvements in efficiency and elimination of redundancies. 

The system also communicates seamlessly with other health care facilities and systems through a connection to the Common Well Health Alliance, a Health Information Exchange.  

“So much effort has gone into developing an EMR that satisfies the needs of both our patients and physicians,” says Edward J. Kelly, Milford Regional president & CEO.

“Having one complete medical record that can follow you throughout your hospital journey ensures patients receive the very best care.  We are confident that our new MEDITECH Expanse EMR will improve efficiencies, quality of care and patient satisfaction.”
