GE and PeriGen to enhance perinatal EMR system

GE Healthcare and PeriGen are teaming up to incorporate decision support and monitoring capabilities into the GE Centricity Perinatal EMR system.

GE Healthcare will embed Princeton, N.J.-based PeriGen PeriCalm Patterns in its Centricity Perinatal product, and offer it to clinicians seeking to help improve the quality of care delivered.

This added functionality will help automate workflows and provide physicians with advanced analytics and real-time access to patient data to help improve the quality of care, according to Waukesha, Wis.-based GE.
