GE Centricity EMR in Research
Centricity EMR is quickly becoming a powerful research tool as it allows investigators to:
- examine large patient populations
- de-identify patient data
- perform retrospective cohort studies
- determine the primary reason for the visit
By 2008, there had been 12 journal publications and 31 poster presentations using data collected by clinicians using the GE Centricity database (2). The Centricity EMR also allows clinicians to track patients’ medical information over a period of time.
