Meditech is a fairly decent system, however it is generally limited by those
who design it for your particular facility. In other words the more
specialized forms you want the more windows you will need to enter to
complete your documentation. It may be as few as three windows or panels of
several questions, but I have seen it aborted over time to as may as 9
different windows to complete charting which become very cumbersome and
really awkward for transitional staffing. Best of luck!
