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). One of the original two Centricity products, Centricity EMR began as MedicaLogic Logician before its acquisition by GE Healthcare in 2002 (2). By 2007, the Centricity EMR had been used by over 20,000 clinicians to manage over 30 million patients in 49 states (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)
By 2008, there had been 12 journal publications and 31 poster presentations using data collected by clinicians using the GE Centricity database (3).
