Kootenai Health · Bonner General & Boundary Community

No upgrade required.
Optimization starts now.

Bonner General Hospital and Boundary Community Hospital, community hospitals affiliated with Kootenai Health, run MEDITECH 6.08. An older version doesn't pause regulatory obligations, and it shouldn't stall improvement either. Purpose Health keeps the platform compliant and continuously optimized, improving patient care, physician satisfaction, and revenue recovery on the version the hospitals already own.

The Challenge

Regulators don't care what version you run.

Bonner General and Boundary Community run on MEDITECH 6.08, an older version of the platform that regulators treat no differently from the newest one. EHR certification requirements, CMS Promoting Interoperability, eCQM measures, and public health reporting all keep advancing, and the hospitals' clinicians and revenue cycle still deserve a system that gets better every year. They needed a partner who could keep an older version compliant, and keep optimizing it.

Enter Purpose Health
01

Ongoing Regulatory Compliance

Priority pack upgrades keep the platform compliant with EHR certification requirements and CMS PI and eCQM measures, alongside AU-AR implementation, NHSN respiratory reporting, and eCR reporting.

02

Patient Portal Accessibility

Upgraded the patient portal to meet WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility requirements, keeping the patient-facing front door compliant as well as the clinical core.

03

Atlas Lab Integration

Bonner and Boundary now send lab tests to Kootenai Health for processing, recapturing revenue that previously went to outside reference lab testing.

04

Revenue Recovery & Downtime Resilience

A PMMC project improved recovery of bad debt, and a downtime reporting solution keeps care moving with ready reports during unplanned downtime.

05

Discharge Transfer Routine

When an inpatient transfers to a SNF under a new account, the routine moves medication and treatment orders into the new account for review and acceptance, improving patient safety and reducing provider burden.

What the Program Produced

Compliant on 6.08

EHR certification, CMS PI, eCQM, public health reporting, and WCAG 2.0 AA, met on the existing version.

Lab revenue kept in-network

Atlas integration routes lab tests to Kootenai instead of outside reference labs.

Better bad-debt recovery

The PMMC project improved recovery of revenue previously written off.

Safer care, less burden

Discharge transfer routine and downtime reporting protect patients and save provider time.

Priority packs, AU-AR, NHSN respiratory and eCR reporting, and a WCAG 2.0 AA portal upgrade keep every requirement met.
