“GE Healthcare is bringing to market a global vision of eHealth that encompasses solutions and services enabling the exchange, sharing, workflow and distribution of images and clinical information across multiple hospitals, regions or nations. The goal is to connect patients, physicians, care providers, payers, GP offices, pharmacies, laboratories and others.
At Arab Health 2010 GE Healthcare will showcase its Centricity Portal, an eHealth solution to fundamentally enable multi-site workflows in radiology. This solution can retrieve historical patient data from different systems, such as HIS (Hospital Information System), RIS and PACS (Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving and Communication System). Radiologists can diagnose and report independently from location, time and institution. The technology is based on the international IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) profile XDS (Cross Enterprise Document Sharing) and uses DICOM and HL7 standards. Centricity Portal is easy to install, scalable, Web-based and allows to manage complex workflows and access rights in cross-hospital and regional clinical data and image exchange projects.”
