Though there are thousands of Meditech hospitals, only a handful are in the in the process of migrating from the Magic to 6.0 platform. Of course, those hospitals (and their CIOs) are being watched very closely by the Meditech community. One of those CIOs is Ed Ricks of Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Ricks is not only taking his facility to 6.0 and going best of breed in the ED, but using a new integration engine to bring it all together. To gather some lessons learned for healthsystemCIO.com readers, editor Anthony Guerra recently chatted with Ricks.

Chapter 1

  • Meditech Shop — Going from Magic to 6.0
  • “For us, it was 100 percent about user adoption with the clinicians”
  • Making the decision to stick with Meditech
  • “They approach (6.0) as a new implementation and, to a large extent, it is”
  • “We understand the Meditech methodology”
  • Wait times for software
  • “Meditech is very conservative”
  • Infrastructure first — data center upgrades
  • “Meditech is Meditech”
  • “That’s actually better than I thought I was going to be!”
  • Investing in the relationship
  • MUSE — A Meditech-less Meditech user group. “A frustrating story”
