Pa. health system to go live on GE HIE

Butler Health System (BHS), which serves western Pennsylvania communities, will implement a health information exchange (HIE) from GE Healthcare to enable clinical information access between BHS and its affiliated and independent physicians, as well as referral hospitals outside of the immediate community.

The HIE at BHS, a nonprofit hospital serving over 120,000 patients annually, will provide data to GE Healthcare’s Centricity ambulatory EMR as well as non-GE clinical software products.

GE will integrate HIE data with these existing systems, enabling physicians to view newly available clinical patient information from various sources within their native EMR screens, GE Healthcare, of Barrington, Ill., stated.
