Farmerville, La.-based Union General Hospital has gone live with Meditech Expanse, bringing its hospital and rural health clinic onto a single cloud-hosted EHR platform.
The critical access hospital implemented the system through Meditech as a Service, a subscription-based model designed to reduce the infrastructure and maintenance demands of managing an EHR, according to a Nov. 12 news release.
The platform supports acute and outpatient care and includes ambient clinical documentation, automated patient reminders, interoperability capabilities and digital billing workflows.
Providers are using ambient listening technology to document patient visits, while the hospital has implemented automated text reminders through Expanse Patient Connect for departments including behavioral health and therapy clinics.
Union General is also using Meditech’s Traverse Exchange network to share patient information with larger regional health systems and support patient transfers. Additionally, automated billing workflows have replaced paper-based processes for high-volume Medicaid claims.
The hospital, which has served Union Parish since 1975, selected Meditech Expanse in 2025.
