Case Study: Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital advances interoperability and streamlines care with MEDITECH EHR

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital advances interoperability with MEDITECH, achieving 100% in three successive quality surveys

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, a pediatric rehabilitation facility, faced the challenge of seamlessly sharing patient records with other major children's hospitals that used a different EHR system. This was imperative for providing coordinated care to children with complex conditions who are frequently treated at multiple facilities. To address this, the hospital worked with vendor MEDITECH to implement a point-to-point interface for its EHR.

The MEDITECH solution established an interface connecting its EHR with the Epic systems used by partner hospitals. This eliminated manual tasks like printing and scanning records, allowing clinicians to directly select and consume key clinical data into the patient chart. The result was more efficient workflows and more coordinated care during patient transitions. MEDITECH's system also helped reduce redundant tests by making patient information easily accessible to providers, building a foundation for future, more comprehensive data exchange.
