Transitioning from paper records to electronic health records (EHR) offers many benefits for the small medical practice. EHR technology can help streamline clinical, financial and administrative tasks, leaving more time for patient care and helping to improve productivity.
But many EHR solutions are designed for larger organizations – implementing these products may take far more time and money than the small practice can afford. That's why GE Healthcare has created Centricity Advance, a Web-based solution that combines EHR functionality with practice management and patient portal tools to deliver an affordable IT solution for the small, independent clinical practice.
