Priority Testing Services - PM - Meditech

Priority packs are required to keep Fraser Health’s two MEDITECH systems, Expanse and Client Server (C / S) up to date with MEDITECH’s release schedule and includes solution updates and fixes.

MEDITECH recommends taking regular priority pack updates. Some organizations maintain a quarterly cadence, while others, including many Canadian hospitals, take these updates annually.

In consultation with MEDITECH, Fraser Health is adopting a bi-annual (every 6 months) cadence.

While the program moves to implement Expanse in the health authority, Fraser Health must ensure Expanse and C / S remain up to date with the latest updates.

Timely acceptance and required testing for implementation of the required priority packs is important to ensure we stay on track while Expanse is rolled out.

This will be a two year contract to manage testing of priority packs as a full service. The testing services will be for Expanse and C / S MEDITECH systems in parallel.

There are 4 anticipated priority packs (includes both systems) in this two-year period.

This will be an all-inclusive package, designed to deliver the services listed below :
