Client Case Study · MEDITECH Managed Services
Kootenai Health · Bonner General & Boundary Community

Focused on Epic.
Covered on MEDITECH.

Bonner General Hospital and Boundary Community Hospital, community hospitals affiliated with Kootenai Health, stayed on MEDITECH while Kootenai Health's centralized team implemented Epic at the main hospital. Purpose Health took over complete management of the affiliates' MEDITECH environment, every application and interface included, so both efforts could move forward without disruption.

The Challenge

Two live hospitals. Zero spare analysts.

An Epic implementation consumes an organization's best people. Kootenai Health's centralized team needed to focus on the main hospital's Epic go-live, but Bonner General and Boundary Community were still live on MEDITECH 6.08, along with the nine supporting applications and interfaces around it. That environment still had to run the hospitals every day: supported, patched, current, and compliant. They needed a partner who could take it off their hands entirely.

Enter Purpose Health
01

Full MEDITECH System Management

Purpose Health took over the hospitals' MEDITECH 6.08 environment end to end, so Kootenai Health's centralized team could focus on the Epic implementation at the main hospital.

02

Every Supporting Application & Interface

Coverage extended across all nine third-party applications: 3M, Condusiv, Dragon, DrFirst, Forward Advantage, IMO, Intellispace, Passport, and Micromedex.

03

Consultants with 15+ Years in MEDITECH

Platform veterans who know 6.08-era MEDITECH and its supporting applications from years of hands-on hospital work.

04

Full Support Coverage

Technical support across all applications. Break/fix issues and new requests both went to Purpose Health, so nothing waited on stretched internal teams.

05

Current & Compliant, Continuously

Regular priority pack updates and ongoing regulatory work keep the legacy environment current for as long as the hospitals depend on it.

Where This Model Applies

Maintaining legacy versions

Full maintenance and support of any legacy MEDITECH version, older or newer than 6.08, including every supporting application and interface.

Upgrading to Expanse

Upgrade and migration support to MEDITECH Expanse under both licensed and MEDITECH-as-a-Service (MaaS) models.

Cloud backup of prior versions

Secure cloud backup of prior MEDITECH versions on Purpose Health's HITRUST-certified platform, so the record stays preserved and the data accessible.

Focus on what's next. We'll run what's now.

Our MEDITECH veterans run the same managed services model whether you are maintaining an older version, upgrading to Expanse, converting to another platform, or protecting prior versions in the cloud.
