In 1969, A. Neil Pappalardo began development of MIIS.
This was one of several proprietary implementations of MUMPS, a programming language which at the time had not been standardized. MIIS users and developers later influenced efforts toward MUMPS standardization during the early 1970s; the MUMPS standard was complete by 1974 and approved by 1977. Between 1971 and 1979, Pappalardo developed various other systems, but those associated with integrated health care information remained his primary focus.
In 1982, MEDITECH adopted the then-new MAGIC programming language.
MAGIC became integral to MEDITECH's health care information systems' implementations.
In 1994, the company adopted Client/Server, a second software platform. While Client/Server utilized the same programming language, MAGIC runs all code on a central server, and clients are in effect dumb terminals. Client/Server executes the code on a user's PC, although all code remains centralized. Client server supports only Microsoft Windows-based operating systems. MEDITECH unveiled its 6.0 platform in 2006.
MEDITECH offers software for health care organizations of various types and sizes.
Some of the software modules offered by MEDITECH include the following:
Health Information Management,
Revenue Cycle,
Scanning and Archiving,
Scheduling and Referral Management,
Emergency Department Management,
Cost Accounting,
Data Repository,
General Accounting,
Human Resource Planning,
Supply Chain Management,
Operating Room Management,
Patient Discharge Instructions,
Long Term Care Solutions,
Behavioral Health Solutions, and
Home Health Solutions.
MEDITECH has one wholly owned subsidiary, LSS Data Systems, acquired in Spring 2011.
At that time, Joanne Wood, MEDITECH senior vice president of client services for the MAGIC and Client/Server platforms, took on the additional titles of President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of LSS Data Systems, overseeing all operations of the company.
MEDITECH South Africa, founded in 1982, provides software and services to the health care industry in Africa and the Middle East.
Other companies such as BridgeHead Software produce software designed to be used with MEDITECH software.
On June 6, 2012, MEDITECH announced its partnership with Intelligent Medical Objects to provide seamless mapping of clinician-friendly diagnosis and procedure terminologies to billing codes and medical concepts

MEDITECH entered the Canadian HIT market at a time when many hospitals were starting out with an electronic laboratory application. Thirty-five years later, MEDITECH has 41% of the acute care Canadian market share and is celebrating over three decades of providing fully-integrated Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to hospitals and health authorities across the country.
"MEDITECH is proud of our strong and progressive partnership with our Canadian customers," said Helen Waters, MEDITECH's vice president of sales and marketing. "Our customers were the first in Canada to reach

Here are 10 things to know about MEDITECH.
1. MEDITECH, short for Medical Information Technology, was founded in 1968 by Neil Pappalardo, who at the time was working at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston in clinical computing. Mr. Pappalardo had recently graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had created MGH Utility Multi-Programming System, more commonly referred to as MUMPS, which has become the industry-standard language for medical software. He developed MEDITECH out of concern for the paper processes in healthcare that were prone to errors.
2. Since 2010, Howard Messing has served as president and CEO of MEDITECH, though his roots in the company reach back to 1974 when he joined MEDITECH as a programmer. He was promoted to vice president in 1985. Mr. Messing then served as executive vice president from 1995 to 2002, when he was named president and COO.
3. MEDITECH has 2,300 customers worldwide, more than 900 customers that have successfully attested to meaningful use, more than 285 customers that have achieved HIMSS stage 6 and 19 customers that have achieved HIMSS stage 7. Additionally, the company has 11 buildings across three states, in Massachusetts, Minnesota and Georgia.
4. Though founded and based in the United States, MEDITECH has a global reach as well, with approximately 650 customers in 22 countries. The company is working directly with healthcare customers in Ireland and the United Kingdom and has service partners in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. MEDITECH also plans to expand its presence in the Spanish-speaking market.
5. As of March, MEDITECH was the most commonly used primary EHR hospitals used to attest to meaningful use, according to CMS data. MEDITECH, which was used by 946 hospitals to attest, just edged out Cerner, which was used by 931. CMS defined the primary EHR as one that is complete or meets the most meaningful use criteria.
6. For the first quarter of 2015, MEDITECH reported a drop in total revenue compared to the same time period in 2014, falling from $130.7 million to $113 million. According to the statement of income, product revenue between the two comparable time periods fell by $22 million from $55.6 million to $33.3 million. However, service revenue slightly increased, from $75 million in the first quarter 2014 to $79.8 million in the first quarter 2015.
7. MEDITECH is a member of the Argonaut Project, an initiative launched by Health Level Seven International, an authority on standards for interoperability, to accelerate the development and adoption of interoperability resources. MEDITECH is one of a handful of IT and EHR vendors to participate in the project; Cerner, Epic, McKesson and Surescripts are also members.
8. MEDITECH is also a member of the CommonWell Health Alliance, a nonprofit trade association based in Boston that aims to enhance interoperability in health IT. CommonWell's founding members are comprised of EHR vendor competitors Allscripts, athenahealth, Cerner, Evident (CPSI), Greenway Health, McKesson and Sunquest. The organization is developing a vendor-neutral platform that fosters electronic information exchange.
9. MEDITECH used to participate in CMS' Designated Test EHR Program.
Along with McKesson, the two were the first EHR vendors in the program.
The test program allows eligible hospitals, providers and critical access hospitals to demonstrate they have achieved meaningful use stage 2's transitions of care objective.
Participating EHR vendors have their software registered on a system called the EHR Randomizer. When providers register with the program to conduct tests, the EHR Randomizer matches that professional, hospital or critical access hospital with a test EHR different from the one they use to demonstrate they can electronically share information with disparate systems. When asked why vendors such as MEDITECH move on from the program, an ONC spokesperson said, "The CMS Designated Test EHR Program is a voluntary program. Developers are not required to participate for any specific period."
10. In 2010, MEDITECH partnered with Northeastern University in Boston to integrate a new version of its EHR software into the classroom setting for health science students.
