WESTWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 1980, 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.
