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.
