Yes. dbtech’s Downtime Solution integrates with your MEDITECH EHR, giving healthcare organizations running MEDITECH the same level of downtime preparedness and clinical continuity available to users of other major EHR platforms.
MEDITECH Is a Supported EHR Platform
MEDITECH is one of the most widely used EHR systems in community hospitals, critical access hospitals, and ambulatory care settings across the country. dbtech works directly alongside MEDITECH, ensuring that your organization does not need to choose between your existing EHR investment and a reliable downtime strategy. dbtech is part of your infrastructure, not a replacement for it.
Integration Through Standard HL7 Messaging
dbtech connects to MEDITECH using standard HL7 messaging protocols. This means patient and encounter data, including census information, medication administration records, and registration details, is continuously pulled from MEDITECH into the Downtime Solution while systems are operational. When a downtime event occurs, that data is immediately accessible on designated downtime workstations, independent of MEDITECH’s availability.
No Custom Development Required
Integration with MEDITECH does not require custom development or significant IT resources on your end. dbtech is designed to work with the standard data outputs that MEDITECH already produces, making the implementation process straightforward and minimally disruptive to your existing environment and clinical workflows.
Continuity During MEDITECH Outages
Whether your MEDITECH system is experiencing a scheduled maintenance window, an unplanned technical failure, or a cybersecurity incident, your staff can continue registering patients electronically, accessing in-house patient data, printing barcoded wristbands and labels, capturing consent forms, and documenting care, all without needing MEDITECH to be available. Workflows continue uninterrupted until the primary system is restored.
Recovery Back Into MEDITECH
After a downtime event ends, dbtech facilitates recovery by returning all data collected during the outage back into MEDITECH using HL7 and document export. Patient registration data, scanned documents, and clinical information are reconciled electronically, eliminating the manual re-entry process that burdens so many organizations following a downtime event.
