Seamless Integration Streamlines Social Care Referrals
By seamlessly integrating Unite Us into MEDITECH Expanse, CMH’s clinical providers can now access patients’ social care history, build and scale a coordinated care network, track outcomes, identify service gaps, and monitor at-risk populations—all within their familiar EHR workflow.
The Unite Us platform enables Citizens Memorial Hospital to securely connect individuals in need with community-based resources through the Unite Missouri network. This platform acts as a central hub where health and social services providers can securely access and refer patients to necessary services, while also monitoring their progress and measuring outcomes.
CMH holds the distinction of being the first MEDITECH customer to implement Unite Us seamlessly within Expanse.
“At Unite Us, we believe that true health transformation happens when healthcare and social care work seamlessly together,” said Taylor Justice, Co-Founder and President at Unite Us. “Our partnership with Citizens Memorial Hospital and MEDITECH is a testament to that vision. By integrating Unite Us within Expanse, CMH is setting a new standard for how hospitals can address the social drivers of health at the point of care. Together, we’re ensuring that every patient—not just those within hospital walls—has access to the services they need to live healthier lives.”
