 * __Description:__** Centricity®EMR is a software designed by [|General Electric] that helps to transfer electronic medical records, medical imaging and other practice management tools. This software was introduced in 2003 and quickly became a leader in the medical software field. The software allows doctors to transfer data to other hospitals and help with collaborate data between different practices. Centricity allows ambulatory care physicians and clinical staff to document and share millions of patients records through a computer software helping to aid users in and out of the hospital. This system allows medical field professionals to streamline clinical work flow and quickly exchange clinical data with patients, information systems and providers in a secure fashion. GE's Centricity is growing everyday to further secure and expand their EMR and other medical records to help efficiency and cost in the medical field.

Health care providers will ultimately be able to create a single electronic record for a patients' entire medical experience--from the time of hospital admission to the last outpatient follow-up appointment. The entire clinical history of the patient will be accessible to clinicians everywhere during the care process, whether they are in the primary physician office or an operating room of a hospital.
