For MEDITECH Hospitals & Health Systems
Built for MEDITECH Hospitals and Health Systems
Your MEDITECH data holds untapped potential for increasing efficiencies, improving care delivery, and driving innovation. We provide the solutions MEDITECH hospitals and health systems need to accelerate data conversions, enhance data integrity, and streamline data access.
Common Challenges
Navigating MEDITECH Data Intricacies
MEDITECH EHRs offer hospitals and health systems a robust, secure foundation for managing clinical and operational data. At the same time, their unique architecture requires specialized approaches to fully access, interpret, and leverage that data.
Key Considerations Include:
- Data Extraction Complexity — MEDITECH’s proprietary structure calls for thoughtful strategies and expertise.
- Data Integrity — The Data Repository (DR) may not always reflect real-time updates from the transactional system.
- Data Latency — Understanding and addressing transfer timing between the DR and live environment is key.
- Data Access — MEDITECH’s secure design means real-time data access often requires complementary solutions.
- Data Change Tracking — Capturing detailed information around data modifications may require supplemental tools.
Solutions Specifically for Hospitals with MEDITECH EHRs
We’ve provided MEDITECH data solutions to hospitals and health systems for more than 20 years and successfully completed hundreds of projects. We know MEDITECH inside out and have applied that knowledge to our five core services and solutions.
- Extraction and Conversion Services— We extract quickly and efficiently across all MEDITECH platforms (MAGIC, C/S, M-AT, and Expanse) with zero downtime.
- DR Auditor™ — We validate your MEDITECH DR and resolve discrepancies.
- DR Dashboard™ — We provide complete monitoring for your DR, giving you instant visibility into data latency, table size, and growth.
- OpenGate™ — We make your data easily accessible to external applications and platforms in real-time.
- Flux™ — We capture and save MEDITECH historical transactional changes in SQL Server or any standard database.
Real Hospitals. Real Results.
Blue Elm has helped more than 500 organizations unleash the full power of their MEDITECH data. Learn more about two of those initiatives:
How a Large Health System Successfully Extracted and Archived Data Across Multiple Legacy Platforms
The challenge wasn’t just extracting data from these legacy systems — it was doing so efficiently, accurately, and completely. Finding a partner with deep expertise across multiple platforms was critical.
What distinguishes Blue Elm is their depth of knowledge across diverse platforms. They’ve delivered the correct data, and they meet their timelines. If they say they’re going to do something, they do it.
Blue Elm has really opened a whole world of opportunities that we previously didn’t have. They’re not just saying, ‘This is how stuff works.’ They’re asking, ‘What’s the problem we’re trying to solve?’ They’re innovative in the way they think.
OpenGate™ opened a path for us that felt like a dead end. Now we can pull data into SQL Server in real time and do all our BI development and build off that.
While MEDITECH has a built-in validation tool for the DR, it’s spotty and not sufficient for our needs. With DR Auditor™, we can confidently rely on the DR.
The DR Dashboard™ alerts are extremely helpful. We can advise end users that data may not be current and stay ahead of issues.
Flux™ allows for transparency. We can see who changed values, provide context, and ensure communication happens between facilities.
We archive data from legacy systems into our comprehensive data warehouse, but every application is different — every version of MEDITECH is different, especially the older ones. Blue Elm has been familiar with all of these systems.

FAQs
Who are the best MEDITECH data experts for hospitals?
Blue Elm specializes in creating MEDITECH data solutions specifically for hospitals and health systems. We serve hundreds of organizations, and our solutions are built by former MEDITECH employees.
How does Blue Elm ensure MEDITECH data accuracy?
Our DR Auditor™ and DR Dashboard™ tools validate and monitor your MEDITECH Data Repository to ensure accuracy and dependability.
Can Blue Elm integrate MEDITECH data with other systems?
Yes. Our OpenGate™ solution enables real-time data sharing between MEDITECH and other applications or analytics platforms.
Do your solutions work with our MEDITECH platform?
Yes. We support all MEDITECH platforms: Magic, C/S, M-AT (6.x), and Expanse. Our team has deep expertise across all versions.
How long does implementation take?
Most solutions are implemented in days or weeks, not months. Conversion projects vary based on data volume but are consistently faster than in-house approaches or other vendors.
Will these tools impact our MEDITECH system performance?
No. Our solutions are engineered for minimal system impact. Our team’s deep knowledge of MEDITECH architecture ensures your operations continue uninterrupted.
Can we start with one solution and add others later?
Absolutely. Many hospitals start with one solution (often DR Auditor™ or a conversion project) and expand as they discover additional needs. Each solution works independently.
What if we have a unique challenge not covered by your existing products?
Tell us about it. Every solution we’ve built was driven by challenges specific to what hospitals face. If there’s a MEDITECH data problem that has you stumped, we want to hear about it.
Do we need to be technical to use your solutions?
It depends on the solution. DR Auditor™ and DR Dashboard™ are designed for analysts and DBAs with SQL knowledge. OpenGate™ requires development skills (SQL, C#, etc.). Conversion Services require minimal technical involvement from your team — we handle the complexities.
