Alabama non-profit hospital deploys GE Centricity Enterprise

Huntsville Hospital, a not-for-profit hospital in Huntsville, Ala., has implemented version 6.1 of GE's Centricity Enterprise Solution to integrate patients’ clinical information into one EHR.

Building on an existing Centricity Enterprise portfolio, the solutions will unite financial, administrative and clinical data to enable healthcare organizations to create and maintain lifetime patient records, according to GE. For example, the company said its integration with ancillary systems allows clinicians with appropriate security to access textural results, and also to link directly to PACS images, document images, EKG strips and ancillary procedural reports.

Huntsville Hospital has 881 licensed acute-care beds, serving north Alabama and southern Tennessee.
