GE Healthcare offers its own solution in the medical software market called Centricity. It is an integrated suite that covers both electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) to help practices get a better handle on clinical and financial management. It is especially good at integrating with lots of other systems in the healthcare community as well as a huge range of medical devices, imaging systems, and other GE Healthcare products.
The EHR module was designed around offering robust reporting concerning clinical outcomes, which is the key to any practice being able to properly benchmark its performance against peers. By using Centricity, practices will be much more prepared to participate in pay-for-performance healthcare opportunities. The system has gained ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification so practices can rest assured they will meet meaningful use criteria to qualify for federal stimulus funds. Its depth of functionality has also resulted in obtaining CCHIT certification. Centricity includes both a Clinical Messenger that facilitates communication with patients as well as other practices playing a role in their care and a robust interface engine that drives its integration with huge array of third-party systems for sharing lab reports, clinical notes, and billing data.

Cons
Here are the problems Centricity users noted about the system:
Apparently Centricity is one of the few systems that can handle large academic practices, but totally misses the mark for real-world modern practices. Most of its users are completely dissatisfied with nearly every aspect of its functionality, and also believe the company is simply not interested in making it better.
