Ohio HIE to install GE HIE tech
Wooster, Ohio-based health information exchange (HIE) eLINCx will implement GE Healthcare’s eHealth Information Exchange across Wooster Community Hospital, Dunlap Community Hospital and more than a dozen physician practices.
eLINCx will first implement GE’s HIE to support physicians when viewing patient clinical summary data from across the provider community. The HIE will provide data to GE Healthcare’s Centricity EMR, as well as non-GE clinical software products and when a patient’s care is transitioned, the HIE will support an automated and digital flow of clinical information from one EMR to the next, according to the Barrington, Ill.-based GE.
This first phase also includes giving hospital and referring doctors access to lab results and radiology reports, as well as an integrated referral management process, the company added.
