St. Jude PCN integrates with Centricity, OneView

St. Jude Medical’s Merlin.net Patient Care Network (PCN), an internet-based repository of patient and implantable device data, is now integrated with GE Healthcare’s Centricity EMR as well as Scottcare’s OneView cardiac rhythm management device management system.

St. Jude Medical customers using these EHRs can integrate Merlin.net PCN into their systems, the St. Paul, Minn.-based company stated.

The company will demonstrate EHR interoperability with Merlin.net PCN at booth #702 during the Heart Rhythm Society's Heart Rhythm 2011 conference in San Francisco.
