What if?…

You could tailor your EMR experience to enable critical & complex workflows?

• What if your EMR could display cardiac ablation data?
• What if you could annotate on a fetal strip and in the EMR at the same time?
• What if you could increase adherence to antibiotic protocols while viewing EMR data?¹
• What if you could access 3D images, including the patients' prior images, from your EMR while examining a trauma patient in emergency?
• What if you could seamlessly share patient data with the EMR to implement efficient billing workflows that help optimize financial performance?

You can.

EMR Integration Workflow Solutions from GE Healthcare enable you to quickly access the patient information you need in critical and complex care areas to help you enhance patient care, increase clinician productivity, and optimize financial performance.

We understand that an Electronic Medical Record may be an important part of your IT strategy. We also understand that you can't afford to trade off the robust functionality needed in care areas like perinatal, perioperative, cardiology, and imaging. Now you don't have to. You can have both: your enterprise EMR and advanced functionality in your care areas. No tradeoff.

By linking clinical data and IT processes with your organization's choice of EMR, we can help you speed access to patient information, and reduce costly, inefficient rework and extra steps. As an example, a Health Affairs² study indicates the potential to save nearly $90 per person per year by avoiding unnecessary testing and administrative costs associated with testing.

With GE Healthcare's EMR Integration Workflows Solutions, the information you need is available when you need it, enabling you to spend less time looking for information and more time caring for your patients.

GE Healthcare…Connecting productivity with care

“We met our organization’s goals and maintained nurses’ workflow and productivity.” – Jenny Dougal Director of Women’s Services Parkview Health, IN (Centricity Perinatal - Connect module with an enterprise EMR vendor system)

“With Centricity Cardio Enterprise I have the same level of access to patient images in my office and at home that I have in front of a workstation in the lab. Now I am able to consult and review images from my same location without the need to go back to the hospital. This truly has changed the way we respond to patient care questions and collaborate with other physicians. The speed of image retrieval is great and having access to diagnostic images with measurements tools has enhanced our efficiency and our response time to patient care needs.” – Michael Carney, D.O. Cardiologist, OSUMC (Centricity Cardio Enterprise solution)

“Even though the patient can’t communicate, I can see what is known about him or her—the patient history, allergies and medication list.” – Kevin Wethington, MD Associate professor of anesthesiology University of Utah School of Medicine (GE AIMS with an enterprise EMR and an outpatient vendor system)

“The system provides a single point of access to a single patient jacket where clinicians can see the exams that patient has had across Southwestern Ontario.”  Dave Veeneman, PACS/DI-r Manager, London Health Sciences (GE Healthcare Vendor Neutral Archive solution)
