Gregory T. Lucier , President & CEO, GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
RSNA 2001 marks a year of major new developments at GE, especially in information technology for the healthcare enterprise.
Imagine your patient having just been scanned minutes ago in the ED and instead of viewing the images and patient information on two different workstations, you now have a single desktop that lets you access both the images and the historical patient information anywhere that has Internet access. It's a complete PACS/RIS integration that's accessible even outside the healthcare organization.
So, maybe you'd like to transfer those images from your hospital to another one more than 1,000 miles away, and now you can do this in less than five seconds with fiber optic network capability-an offering GE provides with our exclusive partner, Qwest Communications.
That's the power of GE Centricity Information Systems.
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies is all about one thing: Providing information to help deliver better patient care, more efficiently than ever before. It's Information at the Speed of Life.
In fact, diagnostic imaging systems and PACS-RIS are just one element of the care process. This same level of clinical information integration that we have created in radiology is now being deployed in every care area of the hospital. GE is leading the way in the creation of the first electronic medical record that will provide a comprehensive view of the patient, including images, waveforms, and medical history-everything to allow a doctor to reference a record that spans a patients' entire lifetime.
The advantage of this information technology is that it will allow clinical workflow to be optimized and streamlined. Moreover, with comprehensive data from GE Centricity Information Systems, clinicians can provide the most accurate and safe levels of treatment.
At GE Medical Systems Information Technologies, we connect clinicians to information to patients. It's Information at the Speed of Life.
