Execution: After implementing Expanse to replace disparate EHRs within its ambulatory practices, Frederick Health executive leadership appointed their first chief medical information officer to help establish standards and align workflows across care settings.
To help set the new CMIO up for success, Frederick Health expanded its partnership with MEDITECH to include Physician Peak Performance Program CMIO Advisory Services for onboarding, mentoring, and physician-related support services.
Results: MEDITECH supported Frederick Health’s CMIO in establishing standardization and aligning tailored workflows across care settings. Together, they:
