Waukesha, WISC, January 9, 2006 - GE Healthcare has announced that the not-for-profit Schenck Medical Center, in Seymour, Ind., has purchased the company's Centricity PACS SE systems to store the facility's radiology digital images.
Centricity PACS SE includes the key features and functionality of GE's industry leading Centricity PACS Enterprise Edition, yet is scaled specifically to meet the needs of community hospitals and imaging centers. The system allows healthcare providers to have a fully integrated turn-key PACS system, based on the market leading Centricity platform, at an affordable price, specifically designed to meet their needs. From installation to implementation, the design focuses on simplification and "faster to filmless" deployment processes.
GE's Centricity PACS SE will interface with Meditech's EMR (electronic medical record) to create a complete patient record with patient data and images for easy reference. Radiologists also can utilize Centricity AW Suite, a software program which completely digitizes the diagnostic process and provides advanced capabilities to manage large complex sets of patient data.
