6.1 Physician Product Enhancements
MEDITECH’s product enhancements come from a variety of areas, including customer feedback, which is garnered throughout all stages of development. Whether it’s attending one of our many strategic forums, participating in our Regional Events, or joining a specific Focus Group, our customers influence the direction of our products, ensuring we are continually designing systems with customer usability in mind.
Below, are some highlights from the recent round of enhancements made to our 6.1 physician solutions.
