GE Healthcare Earns ONC Health IT Certification from Drummond Group LLC, Improves Interoperability in Workflows
November 21 2017 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
GE Healthcare today announced that Centricity Practice Solution
and Centricity Electronic Medical Record (EMR) have been certified
to the ONC 2015 Edition certification criteria, the most recent ONC
criteria available. This certification will assist eligible
healthcare professionals and clinicians in attesting for Stage 3
Meaningful Use measures and fully implemented Medicare Incentive
Payment System (MIPS) measures.
The Meaningful Use measures from the Medicare and Medicaid
Quality Payment programs were designed to allow healthcare
professionals to demonstrate that they are using certified
electronic health record (EHR) technology in ways that measurably
enhance healthcare quality and cost. Successful participation in
these programs is accompanied by positive payment incentives.
GE Healthcare has focused on integrating the capabilities
associated with the ONC 2015 Edition criteria into its EHR workflow
solutions, creating a more seamless experience – making scheduling,
payment and patient interactions more open and connected.
“As the industry continues its aim toward truly value-based
care, it is critical that digital solutions offer seamless and
secure ways for healthcare organizations and clinicians to help
drive that change in ways that meet their patients’ needs,” said
Geoffrey Lay, Director for Digital Product Management at GE
Healthcare.
To facilitate interoperability with other solutions, GE has
implemented 35 Application Program Interfaces (APIs) in these EHR
solutions, including 35 open APIs specifically required by ONC 2015
certification criteria. These standards-based APIs enable apps and
other IT solutions to utilize data from GE EHRs and, in some cases,
integrate seamlessly with the GE solutions.
Centricity Practice Solution and Centricity EMR are compliant
with specific ONC 2015 Edition criteria adopted by the Secretary of
Health and Human Services. Centricity Practice Solution and
Centricity EMR received certifications Drummond Group LLC, an ONC
Authorized Certification Body (ACB). The ONC 2015 Edition criteria
support fully-implemented and transitional MIPS measures as well as
Stage 2 and Stage 3 meaningful use measures.
GE Healthcare certified EHR solutions for EPs are used across a
wide range of healthcare delivery organizations, from small and
large physician practices, to Federally Qualified Health Centers
and Community Health Centers, to multi-specialty clinics with
hundreds of providers.
This Health IT Module is 2015 Edition compliant and has been
certified by an ONC-ACB in accordance with the applicable
certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.” For additional
