Centricity EMR is an electronic medical record (EMR) system designed for use in clinical care practices (1). One of the original two Centricity productsCentricity EMR began as MedicaLogic Logician before its acquisition by GE Healthcare in 2003 (1)By 2007, The Centricity EMR had been used by over 20,000 clinicians to manage over 30 million patients in 49 states (2).
The GE Centricity EMR features a robust user interface which supports the accurate and consistent documentation for a wide range of clinical and demographic patient information. The Centricity EMR also allows clinicians to track medical information for patients over time.
The Centricity EMR Research Database
Approximately 5,000 clinicians provide data to the medical quality improvement consortium (MQIC) which in turn uses the data for a research database (3).This database is quickly becoming a powerful 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
- determine clinical outcomes (3)
By 2008, there had been 12 journal publications and 31 poster presentations using data collected by clinicians using the GE Centricity database (2).
