The perfect patient experience. Seamless workflow. Practice efficiency. Anywhere information access.  These are all attributes of a successful, vibrant physician practice. You need image and information management systems to help your practice thrive, keep your staff productive and provide the best service to your patients and referring physicians. As soon as the door opens to the patient consultation room, you have to seize the clinical moment, focusing your undivided attention on your patient. With information systems at a glance, they provide instant access to your patient’s current and prior imaging studies and associated results. Without the right set of clinical tools at your fingertips, you may not be able to easily seize that moment, and your patient may not have the best experience or optimal care. You also may likely not have sophisticated IT capabilities, but you demand outstanding systems that are simple to implement and support.  Your practice can only afford to employ the best systems in today’s competitive environment.  Your practice needs to consider Centricity PACS Office-IW.

Based upon the acclaimed, Web-based Centricity PACS-IW, Centricity PACS Office-IW is tailored for the needs of general practice and orthopedic physician offices, as well as other specialties. Whether your office has only CR or DR, or a full set of modalities to include CT and MR, Centricity PACS Office-IW can be tailored for you. For orthopedic practices, Centricity PACS Office-IW offers tight integration to Orthocrat TraumaCad for orthopedic templating and surgical planning. All of these orthopedic tools are personalized for your needs in a workflow that best suits your practice. With Centricity PACS Office-IW, your patients will remember that clinical moment driven by your technology. They’ll tell their friends. They’ll tell their neighbors and your practice will prosper.

Efficiencies and Praise Abound
Since Centricity PACS-IW uses a singular interface for all viewers that scale infinitely using our volume-based pricing model, the transition to your first or your replacement PACS, powered by the Web, will be a snap. Your training will be minimized, communication across care providers will be seamless and integration to your practice management system and/or EMR, as well as any purchased clinical applications, will drive tangible clinical, management and operational efficiencies.

It is commonplace for our users to expect near total filmless operations (>98%), and paperless operations are possible too with our native integrated document scanning functionality. Communications across care providers are optimally facilitated via Centricity PACS-IW’ tri-level notes capability, continuity and pervasive availability of the viewing application, and overall ease of use.

In terms of industry analysts, Centricity PACS-IW has been highly acclaimed by both MD Buyline and KLAS. These continuing evaluations have demonstrated the wide appeal and value of Centricity PACS-IW for both acute care and ambulatory facilities. This is important to note because most acute care facilities own their own imaging centers, or are affiliated with physician offices that require the benefits of PACS in addition to PACS at the main facilit(ies). We have solutions to accommodate enterprise PACS in all of these environments, to ensure that no provider has substandard tools to access images and results from PACS.

Standards-based Scale for Today and Beyond
GE Healthcare is also firmly rooted in the standards community, actively participating in DICOM, HL7 and IHE committees and also in industry integration exercises such as the annual IHE Connectathon. Today, Centricity PACS-IW has tested compliance at the IHE Connectathon with 15 actors, across 9 profiles. Included in this testing was compliance with the IHE Portable Data for Imaging (PDI) standard for CDs. We pride ourselves on integrations capabilities, and our ability to deliver solutions that optimize our customer’s workflow. This includes the ability to efficiently manage the largest multi-thousand imaging studies from today’s 64-slice CT scanners, and emerging standards for future MR and CT objects. Our commitment to standards, and the future of image and information management, is firmly based in our actions, not mere words, and we look forward to delivering these results to your institution for today and years to come.
