For primary care physicians and smaller medical practices, transitioning to electronic medical records (EMR) offers many potential benefits: improved patient care, greater efficiency and a healthier bottom line among them. But the transition to EMR can be a challenge – the cost, complexity and time involved in implementing EMR solutions has been a serious obstacle for many smaller practices.
That's why GE Healthcare has developed Centricity Advance – an affordable and easy-to-use, Web based EMR solution that enables small, independent medical practices to enjoy the benefits of EMR.
