Moses Cone Health System
Moses Cone Health System, a five hospital system based in North Carolina, went live on GE Healthcare IT's latest version 6.1 of GE's Centricity(r) Enterprise Solution.

"We selected Centricity Enterprise to provide an end-to-end continuum across our portfolio of GE products," said John Jenkins, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Moses Cone Health System. "Timely success could not have been achieved without our strong partnership with GE Healthcare, ensuring the success at every step in this journey."

Building on an existing Centricity portfolio, Moses Cone also went live on a co-developed nursing application, called Clinician Assessment and Noting, aimed to streamline documentation process and help standardize best practices. The solution provides a workflow-centric approach to documenting a patient assessment, including structured data entry and free text and the ability to enter patient data from across the Centricity Enterprise system.

"We're thrilled to share our vision of healthcare technology with Moses Cone as a valued extension of our partner network," said Laurent Rotival, Vice President and General Manager, GE Healthcare IT.

"Recognized by nursing accreditations such as Magnet at all five of their hospitals, brought a wealth of experience to the development process and honed our ability to better serve the nursing community."

Additionally, the latest version of Centricity Enterprise will prepare Moses Cone for future deployment of advanced functionality, including Barcode Medication Administration and Computerized Physician Order Entry.

Centricity Enterprise is an integrated clinical, financial and administrative system that helps caregivers provide enhanced patient care through computerized physician order entry (CPOE), clinical decision support and expert rules, while documenting all aspects of patient care. The system integrates core clinical processes for orders, results, pharmacy and care documentation, in concert with administrative/financial processes for scheduling, registration/admitting, charging and billing.
