Valley Baptist Views Medical History Electronically with Help of GE Healthcare

Valley Baptist Health System, one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in south Texas, will upgrade its existing IDX “LastWord” system to the Centricity Enterprise (formerly IDX Carecast) solution from GE Healthcare. With the implementation, caregivers will be able to view a patient’s entire medical history electronically.
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.
