Meditech is well-suited to small, independent hospitals requiring a flexible, mostly full-featured EHR with good support. The Expanse upgrade was a significant step forward, and brought the system into the modern world of touch devices while reducing clinician documentation burden.

UpToDate is extremely well suited for quick information. I find the software to be extremely helpful for a quick recap on a condition or disease. If I'm interested in discovering if evidence-based research supports a new treatment or a different provider for a better outcome, I can quickly and efficiently find this information.

UpToDate offers a much more comprehensive tool when compared with Epocrates. Although both provide good drug references UpToDate goes far beyond the Epocrates tool in terms of clinical disease diagnostic data.
