Exceptionally customizable

Tailored to boost your efficiency. 

Efficient care contributes to effective care, and being efficient means working the way you work best—not changing your process to match a software program. That’s why we've designed Centricity Practice Solution based on physician input, and built in the ability to customize forms and functions to meet your needs. 

• The EMR module can be tailored to use a uniform vocabulary, enabling consistent clinical data collection and sharing protocols— specific to your practice
• Both Practice Management and EMR modules can be configured to operate as standalone solutions, and have built-in tools and forms that enable them to connect to virtually any hospital EMR or revenue cycle system  
• Workflow configurations can be customized to how your practice runs—increasing adoption and reducing data entry time

Seamlessly interoperable

Connect to greater productivity. 

A connected practice is an efficient practice. Whether that means a fully integrated EMR and Practice Management software or the ability to share data with virtually any hospital EMR or revenue cycle system, Centricity Practice Solution connects when, where, and how you need it to. Exchanging data with multiple delivery networks means you can better coordinate patient care while better managing your revenue cycle.  

• A shared EMR and PM database helps improve revenue cycle efficiencies without additional steps
• By interfacing with PACS and providing rapid access to patient imaging records across all anatomies, Centricity Practice Solution helps minimize dual entry
• Standards-based interoperability even allows Centricity Practice Solution to connect with other vendors’ platforms

Truly progressive

Minimizing redundancy does not just mean more productivity. It means a more pleasant experience. With the progressive technologies built into Centricity Practice Solution, caregivers, administrators and patients all benefit from faster data entry, fewer clicks, and less rework.  

• Problem codes are fully searchable; once the provider selects the appropriate diagnosis, correlating codes are automatically mapped to both ICD-9 and ICD-10  
• Configurable treatment plans for common workflows help reduce repetitive data entry 
• Pre-built Meaningful Use reports help enable easier benchmarking and adoption of new care models like Patient Centered Medical Home
• One-click problem entry helps minimize unnecessary steps

Exceptional clinical decision support

The Medical Quality Improvement Consortium from GE Healthcare is a community of over 500 customers who contribute de-identified patient clinical data to a centralized data warehouse to enable quality benchmarking, Meaningful Use reporting, public health reporting, and research opportunities. Data from over 25,000 providers and approximately 30 million unique patient records are represented in the data warehouse today. 

Clinicians and practices can benchmark their performance on quality measures against recognized standards, and the reports can be used to determine whether patients are receiving evidence-based care.    

Centricity Practice Solution is an integrated electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) software solution that shares a single database.  Though designed to work as a single unit, if desired, both modules are able to be used independently.  The software can be bundled with many additional product and service offerings.

Electronic Medical Record Module 

The EMR module offers secure clinical records storage, so practices can capture, store, and transmit essential patient data.  The module automatically updates medication tables, clinical reference information, ICD codes and patient handouts from well-known external resources.  Both ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes come pre-loaded in the chart, and are delivered through a dynamic search engine, enabling you to efficiently assign the diagnosis code. The search engine uses an algorithm to both predict search terms and map ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes to help aid the transition to the new system. The EMR software also includes quality reports that help simplify Meaningful Use data gathering and help capture your practice performance at the patient level. 

Centricity Practice Solution is certified as complete EHR technology as designated by the Certification Commission of Healthcare Technology (CCHIT), an ONC-Accredited Testing and Certification Body.

Key Features 

High-Functioning Desktop:  Centricity Practice Solution is designed to provide a clear overview of daily tasks, along with easy access to those tasks. The EMR software features a simple, intuitive interface that keeps users oriented within the solution and lets them quickly navigate to areas of the patient chart.  The desktop has dedicated space for formal and informal communication among providers. In addition, because patient data flows smoothly throughout the entire system, the desktop is automatically populated with documents you might need for the day as well as the current status of each item.

Informative Patient Summary: The Patient Summary gives the provider an at-a-glance view of everything needed for a complete understanding of the patient prior to the patient visit, including demographic data, a recent photo, problems, medications, alerts, allergies, and directives. 

One-Click Problem Entry: With a predictive search engine and one-click problem entry, Centricity Practice Solution makes entering new problems and adapting to ICD-10 easier than ever.  Problem codes are fully searchable and once the provider selects the appropriate diagnosis, correlating codes are automatically mapped to both ICD-9 and ICD-10. As soon as the user begins typing, search results immediately appear and are rank ordered by popularity.

Automated Workflows: No matter how powerful the EMR system, doctors won’t use it unless it works the way they work. That’s why Centricity Practice Solution features automated workflows, pre-built templates, and commands that work the way you do to help improve clinical effectiveness and efficiency, and enable more informed clinical decision-making.

Rapid Data Entry: To make it easier to implement best practices and adapt to evolving care protocols, this powerful solution offers an advanced interface with a variety of data-entry methods, including voice, templates, and quick text.  Centricity Practice Solution pulls in patient data from across the system and pre-populates the electronic medical record with recent history, vital signs, and other information collected prior to the physician’s exam.

Convenient ePrescribing: Centricity Practice Solution’s e-prescribing toolset provides everything a physician needs for robust, efficient, streamlined medication order entry. The system-wide connectivity and clinical decision support tools brings together information such as formulary checking, eligibility checking, dose range checking, and other information about a prescription automatically in the e-prescribing environment.

Insightful Quality Dashboard: Centricity Practice Solution provides the tools and services necessary to help your practice track, measure, and report your care quality outcomes and assess your performance against Meaningful Use functional thresholds. Drilling down into measures enables you to see a detailed list of patients who failed to meet all selected thresholds.

Centricity Practice Solution is an integrated electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) software solution that shares a single database. Though designed to work as a single unit, if desired, both modules are able to be used independently. The software can be bundled with many additional product and service offerings.

Practice Management Module

The PM module includes a powerful financial dashboard and task management for insurance collections. A new guarantor account summary feature includes guarantor information, including associated patients and payment status warnings, a financial summary information for a guarantor account including total balances, aging, and last patient payment, transaction history providing detailed ledger information for each visit within a guarantor's responsibility, and billing notes with security enabled abilities.

Key Features 

Effective Scheduling: From adding a new patient on-the-fly to searching for first available appointments, to tracking recalls and managing authorizations and referrals, Centricity Practice Solution transforms scheduling into a quick and simple process. Designed for high patient and clinic satisfaction, the practice management module provides a flexible, customizable scheduling interface as well as clear, easy-to-follow guidelines. This robust scheduling tool gives all users, including clinicians, a real-time view of their daily schedule—enabling effective time management and a seamless patient experience, ultimately helping to keep your whole practice more informed. 

Informative Financial Dashboard: Centricity Practice Solution's Financial Dashboard delivers a Health Check of your practice by displaying a high-level view of financial metrics based on MGMA key performance indicators. To ensure easy access to timely and accurate information, the dashboard features real-time data and balances to core reports. Designed for ease of use, this feature of the practice management software also provides customizable, user-specific layouts.

Convenient Denial management: Denial queues are set up to enable staff to quickly identify the various types of denials and the associated work required for processing. This at-a-glance-view within the practice management software makes it simple to isolate specific denial codes and readily spot denials that need additional documentation. With Centricity Practice Solution's one-click access to robust visit information, it's easy to add notes directly to the claim, make corrections, and resubmit the claim—without requiring the user to log-in to an alternate system. 

Easy reimbursement discrepancy identification: Leveraging Centricity Practice Solution's integrated task management capabilities, your staff has instant access to an interactive claims worklist that allows them to easily track and research reimbursement discrepancies. When payments are posted in the practice management software, the fee schedule and the actual allowed can be reviewed, side-by-side, at the time of payment entry. A report can be generated that readily identifies underpayments. 

Convenient Account Summary: The guarantor account summary places critical account information all in one place, helping to minimize time spent searching for information in the practice management software and improving the ability to quickly communicate with guarantors. From this page, staff can see a wealth of information and drill down to specific encounters when necessary.

Meaningful Use

ICD-10 

Centricity Practice Solution helps ease the transition to ICD-10

In October 2014, US healthcare providers will be required to begin using ICD10 codes.

ICD-10’s changes are substantial enough to require re-training of even highly experienced ICD-9 professionals.  Providers need to plan carefully in order to avoid disruptions in their reimbursements.  A successful transition depends on planning and managing the transition process.  Experience in other countries has shown that early preparation is critical to success. Providers that start early can spread their resources across several months, rather than incurring a large investment at one time.

Centricity Practice Solution helps ease this transition by giving providers advanced exposure to ICD-10 codes well ahead of the conversion deadline. With a predictive search engine and one-click problem entry, Centricity Practice Solution makes adapting to ICD10 and entering new problems easier than ever. Problem codes are fully searchable and once the provider selects the appropriate diagnosis, correlating codes are automatically mapped to both ICD-9 and ICD-10.

PCMH & ACOs 

The healthcare landscape is rapidly changing. Delivery and payment models are shifting, and practices now also face the challenge of documenting care processes and reporting on clinical data to achieve patient-centered medical home recognition and participate in Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). These changes may be disruptive to your method of doing business, since new requirements can lead to new workflows and cost controls.

As a fully integrated EMR and Practice Management system designed to enhance the clinical and financial productivity of your ambulatory practice, Centricity Practice Solution gives your practice the tools to not just adapt but rather thrive as the healthcare industry transforms.
