Case Study: Newman Regional Health achieves improved sepsis compliance with MEDITECH

Newman Regional Health raises sepsis compliance to 85.2% with MEDITECH

Newman Regional Health, a critical access hospital in Kansas, faced the challenge of low compliance with mandated sepsis treatment protocols, with an initial rate of only 33%. To standardize care and improve patient outcomes, they partnered with vendor MEDITECH to implement a solution using the MEDITECH Expanse platform.

Using MEDITECH Expanse, the hospital implemented a comprehensive solution including integrated sepsis screening assessments, automated order sets, and surveillance indicators. This multidisciplinary approach, supported by extensive staff education and community outreach, dramatically increased their sepsis compliance rate to 85.2%. As a result of this successful implementation with MEDITECH, Newman Regional Health received a "Highest Achievement with Distinction" award for patient safety improvement.
