Midwest community health network chooses GE for health IT

InConcertCare, a health center-controlled network of eight community and migrant health centers that provides care to 78,000 people in underserved communities throughout Iowa and Nebraska, has selected GE Healthcare for its health IT system.

Under the recently signed agreement, InConcertCare will replace its clinics’ existing practice management system with its Centricity Practice for Community Health Centers, according to GE. The system will be utilized by more than 140 providers in the InConcertCare network, equipping the organization with tools to support their centers’ growing data collection needs and community health center-specific billing demands, the company stated.

Centricity Practice for Community Health Centers will allow InConcertCare to automate participating clinics and leveraging features such as integrated scheduling, electronic messaging, care alerts for physicians, decision support, drug-disease interaction checks, e-prescribing and claims processing services, GE added.
