GE Healthcare Has Launched a New Version of Its Emr and Practice Management Solution

GE Healthcare has launched a new version of its fully integrated EMR and Practice Management solution.

The Centricity Practice Solution 11 solution, which features a dynamic search engine, simplifies the data entry required for ambulatory practices to comply with new the ICD-10 coding requirements and reduces the number of clicks required to enter a problem by 75%.

ICD-10 codes, which come pre-loaded in the patient chart, are delivered through a dynamic search engine, enabling providers to efficiently assign the diagnosis code, claims the company.

In addition, the search engine uses an algorithm to both predict common search terms and map ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes using guidance from CMS where there is a one-to-one correlation, so providers can see the links between the two systems.

IDC Health Insights research director Judy Hanover said the transition to ICD-10 represents a significant changes to clinical documentation since EHR adoption.

"Providers that don't manage the transition well will face high levels of denied claims, delayed payments, inconvenience to patients and potentially legal exposure in the event that improper coding is audited," Hanover added.
