Centricity EMR is a patient centered electronic medical record (EMR) system designed for use in clinical and ambulatory care practices (1). Centricity EMR allows clinicians to electronically document patient encounters, enter patient data into research databases, and ensure the secure exchange of clinical knowledge (1).

Centricity was introduced in 2003 with two applications, Centricity EMR and Centricity Physician Office - Practice Management. The products were acquired by what was then GE Medical Systems in 2002 and 2003 respectively, and released future versions of both products under the Centricity name.(3)


Introduction

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 (1). The Centricity EMR tracks medical information for patients over time and allows clinicians to compare clinical outcomes against their peers (1).

Information stored in the Centricity EMR includes:

  • medical setting
  • diagnosis
  • patient complaints/reason for visit
  • medications
  • laboratory tests/results (3)

The Centricity EMR is easily combined with other Centricity software packages to allow clinicians to further optimize the management of information (1).

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 (5)
  • use of electronic medical records for clinical research in the management of type 2 diabetes (7)

By 2008, there had been 12 journal publications and 31 poster presentations using data collected by clinicians using the GE Centricity database (3).

Centricity Advance

Centricity Advance is GE Healthcare’s integrated electronic medical record (EMR), practice management and patient portal system delivered through the web. Specifically designed for use by primary care providers and other physicians in smaller offices, Centricity Advance helps streamline office management, enhance delivery of patient care, and enable expanded communication with secure online exchange between physicians and patients.

Unlike many other healthcare IT systems, Centricity Advance is delivered in a true Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. With this web-based system, practices can get up and running quickly, with minimal disruption, at a modest startup cost. Technology upgrades and maintenance are delivered automatically, with virtually no practice involvement.

Centricity Advance

On August 8, 2011, GE Healthcare announced the release of Centricity Advance – Mobile, a native Apple iPad® application designed for primary care physicians in small practices.

EMR Features:

  • Integrated EMR
  • Practice Management Software
  • Self-Service Patient Portal
  • Secure Medical Management Software
  • Web Based EMR Software

Centricity EMR offers a broad range of embedded clinical content, plus the flexibility to design your own encounter forms, add content, and adapt the program to suit the way you work best:
