Achieving Patient-Centered Excellence Through Process Improvement
Thibodaux Regional Health System, a Louisiana health system with both a hospital and clinics, has focused on process improvement to pursue what they call “patient-centered excellence.” In this video, CEO Greg Stock and CIO Bryan Samaha talk about their use of the MEDITECH EHR and how they are reducing errors and improving clinical quality.Advantages they cite for MEDITECH include the balance between a relatively low operating cost and proven results, as well as the ability to maintain their own autonomy over their EHR without being at the mercy of another health system. The latter advantage allows them to maintain control over downtime, updates, the flexibility of the EHR, and other operations. Stock refers to the partnership as a “marriage between a hospital and an IT system,” which now spans 24 years.Learn more about Thibodaux Regional Health System: https://www.thibodaux.com/Learn more about MEDITECH: https://ehr.meditech.com/

One of the big things that helped them do this was to contract for the RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) consulting services offered by their eClinicalWorks EHR vendor.
