GE launches suite for faster EMR installations

With a push from the HITECH act for facilities to install EMR software solutions, GE Healthcare has created a technology suite under its Centricity EMR solution and revenue cycle management tools that will increase the speed of the installation process.

According to the company, its Centricity business PowerStart is financial and revenue cycle software for large healthcare organizations that now includes a package that allows for rapid implementation of under six months.

Additionally, GE, in conjunction with GE Capital, will implement its Stimulus Simplicity program that grants facilities purchasing a GE EMR or PowerStart solution zero percent payment terms and defers payments until 2012. The company also  said that its Centricity EMR product has a rapid install time of less than 10 weeks.
