Case Study: Carrus Health achieves stability, security, and 40% capital cost savings with MEDHOST's cloud-based EHR

Texas Facilities Find Stability, Security, and Partnership

Carrus Health, a Sherman, Texas system of four hospitals, a free‑standing ER, nursing homes, clinics and a hospice, needed a stable, secure electronic health record across multiple service lines while maintaining compliance and minimizing onsite IT overhead. To replace paper charting and support growth, Carrus selected MEDHOST—deploying MEDHOST Enterprise Clinicals and Financials along with MEDHOST Direct cloud hosting—to meet its clinical, financial and regulatory needs.

MEDHOST implemented a hybrid-to-full EHR rollout and cloud hosting that provided customizable documentation, built‑in workflow notifications, centralized user management and auditing. The MEDHOST solution drove clinician adoption (physicians now prefer documenting in the system), streamlined workflows and real‑time reporting used as the organization’s “point of truth,” and delivered measurable savings—about a 40% reduction in capital costs—while enabling a successful cloud go‑live even during COVID.
