Case Study: Beauregard Health System achieves resilient EHR implementation with Tegria cloud hosting

Implementing a Resilient, Cloud-Hosted EHR

Beauregard Health System, a nonprofit health system in Louisiana, faced the immense challenge of implementing a new, cloud-hosted MEDITECH Expanse EHR. Their project was severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and two major hurricanes, which forced staff to work remotely and displaced employees, threatening to derail the implementation and training schedules entirely.

The vendor, Tegria, provided a resilient cloud-hosting solution and implementation services that proved critical. Their cloud platform allowed for secure, remote access to the EHR, enabling virtual training to continue. Tegria experts adapted their schedule, providing on-site support after the hurricanes to get the project back on track. Despite the disasters, Beauregard Health System successfully went live with its new EHR, achieving a resilient system with guaranteed availability.
