MEDITECH is extending its relationship with The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and Sisu Healthcare IT Solutions to provide access to digital training for 16,000 students in over 300 colleges and universities using the Expanse EHR.
The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) is the world’s leading resource for health information (HI) education, with custom-tailored, virtually delivered curriculum for learning institutions that provide associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degree programs as well as certificate level and continuing education units (CEUs) programs. MEDITECH Expanse will be offered as part of the AHIMA VLab™ — an online-based health information environment that features multiple software applications and corresponding lab lessons.
Expanse EHR will serve as the ‘flagship EHR’ within the AHIMA VLab™. The AHIMA VLab™ is centered around the idea of ‘practice meets theory,’ with the end goal of ushering students seamlessly into the modern healthcare workforce.
Why It Matters
Expanse’s cloud-based solution provides instant access to users via a standard web browser. By adding the Expanse Ambulatory solution, AHIMA improves their curricula by enabling students to practice in a fully integrated care setting and demonstrate the effectiveness of a single EHR across a patient’s care continuum.
