GE to install first Ohio valley enterprise-wide PACS

Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC), a non-profit 139-bed community hospital in Troy, Ohio, has purchased GE Healthcare's (GEHC) Centricity Enterprise PACS for its main facility and four outpatient sites. This will be the first system of its kind to be installed in the Ohio valley region.

The installation will comprise a radiology and cardiology PACS and Centricity CR. Centricity Enterprise PACS will be integrated with the facility's current hospital information system and integrate with GE's MUSE cardiology information system integration.
