Generating Positive Outcomes with EMR: Key Criteria

In today's healthcare environment where providers must meet numerous qualitative objectives to qualify for reimbursement and incentives, accurate and adaptable EMRs aren’t an option, but a necessity. Effective EMRs make the reporting process easier, and provide tangible and noticeable benefits to practice managers and physicians by tracking the performance of practitioners and guarding against missed quality care opportunities. The best EMRs aid practitioners to do what needs to be done during their visits with patients to reduce follow-up visits and to prevent future reimbursements that might be limited by insurance companies.

GE's Centricity Practice Solution uses evidence-based guidelines as a framework, enhancing the patient encounter while reducing and containing overall costs. Using CPS’s intuitive and user-friendly interface, providers can receive answers about health plans, seamlessly synthesize information to formulate reports, and anonymously aggregate patient data in GE’s Medical Quality Improvement Consortium (MQIC). MQIC is a rapidly growing quality reporting and research database with a database of nearly 30 million de-identified patient records. This database lets you make data-driven decisions based on current information and benchmark your practice’s performance against others to see how the care you deliver meets common standards. With such easy access to clinical information, you can better manage specific conditions and populations.
