Meditech API
Greenfield Workspace exposes REST and FHIR R4 APIs on Expanse, with ONC-certified patient endpoints free by federal rule. Anything beyond US Core needs Greenfield acceptance plus a sponsoring hospital for production. Legacy MAGIC and Client/Server sites have no modern API at all, only HL7 v2.
Frequently asked questions
Meditech scores F on the API Report Card. Greenfield Workspace exposes REST and FHIR R4 APIs on Expanse, with ONC-certified patient endpoints free by federal rule. Anything beyond US Core needs Greenfield acceptance plus a sponsoring hospital for production. Legacy MAGIC and Client/Server sites have no modern API at all, only HL7 v2.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Meditech (Medical Information Technology, Inc.) is a hospital electronic health record (EHR) vendor whose flagship product, MEDITECH Expanse, is a unified web/mobile EHR covering acute care, ambulatory, ED, surgical services, oncology, behavioral health, home care, long-term care, pharmacy, laboratory, and revenue cycle.
Vertical: Healthcare (acute-care and community hospital EHR + ambulatory + revenue cycle). Clinicians use Expanse to document patient encounters, place CPOE orders, review labs/imaging, e-prescribe, manage care plans, and complete shift handoffs.
Meditech is the #3 US hospital EHR by acute-care market share at roughly 14.7% of hospitals and 12.5% of beds (KLAS 2025/2026), behind Epic (~44%) and Oracle Health (~22%). The platform serves 2,400+ care sites globally and 43+ million annual patient encounters.
Yes, Expanse is the system of record for the full clinical, financial, and operational dataset of a hospital.
Founded 1969 in Westwood, Massachusetts by A. Neil Pappalardo (still chairman), making Meditech ~57 years old and one of the longest-tenured EHR vendors in the industry, predating Epic (1979) and Cerner (1979).
Production API access requires Greenfield Workspace acceptance + OAuth credentialing, no self-serve sign-up for in-house hospital developers. Non-certified APIs (beyond US Core / USCDI) sit behind partner approval; the richer REST surface is not open to the public. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Epic Systems, Oracle Health (Cerner), Athenahealth, Veradigm (Allscripts Sunrise / Paragon), Altera Digital Health (Sunrise / Paragon), CPSI / Evident. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Meditech API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Meditech data. See the Meditech integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/meditech-api.
