Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

River Hospital (riverhospital.org) is currently utilizing a patient portal branded as "My River Health." This portal was upgraded on September 9, 2024, to provide a more robust user experience. According to the hospital's 2022 annual report, River Hospital was transitioning to an "MHealth system" concurrently with the implementation of a new integrated electronic health record (EHR) system. Multiple other hospitals identify their "MHealth Patient Portal" as being the mobile version of or provided through MEDITECH. For instance, Brooks Rehabilitation explicitly states their patient portal is through the "MEDITECH MHealth app," and Firelands Health refers to the mobile app for their patient portal as "Meditech MHealth". Another hospital, Wilson Health, is transitioning away from the "MEDITECH MHealth Patient Portal," further indicating the connection between MHealth and the MEDITECH EHR system. Labette Health also recently adopted "MHealth" as their new patient portal, mentioning MEDITECH in relation to this change. Based on the association of the "MHealth system" with the patient portal at River Hospital and the clear links of the "MHealth Patient Portal" to MEDITECH in other hospital contexts, the EHR vendor likely used by River Hospital is MEDITECH.
