Clerity, GE partner to provide healthcare IT systems

Clerity Healthcare, a leading provider of end-to-end IT solutions, today announced that it has been selected by GE Healthcare as the exclusive systems integration technical solutions provider for GE Centricity Practice Solution and Centricity Electronic Medical Records (EMR) customers. Under the agreement, Clerity Healthcare will provide fully-tested, turnkey hardware and software solutions that help customers drive down total cost of ownership and simplify administration.

Certified, pre-tested healthcare IT systems, such as those for e-medical records, are of growing importance as hospitals and physician offices implement modernized IT-based tools that cut costs and show "meaningful use" to qualify for financial incentives under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The GE-Clerity partnership will enable GE to continue delivering its Centricity Practice Solution to meet evolving healthcare IT standards, while Clerity systems integration experts assist customers with daily implementation processes and procedures.

"GE and Clerity bring together world-class systems integration services with the most comprehensive and innovative healthcare management software on the market today," said Brian Mitchell, general manager and vice president, hospital and large practice and technology sales at GE Healthcare. "Customers benefit from preconfigured hardware and software solutions with fewer vendor handoffs. This translates into streamlined service and faster turnaround times, all at a lower cost."

In addition to being ISO 9001:2008 certified, Clerity has been a long-standing GE business partner and has several years' experience with GE Centricity solutions. Working with GE, Clerity has already implemented over 300 Centricity EMR installations.

Effective immediately, GE Centricity and EMR customers can order fully configured and tested Centricity Practice and EMR systems directly from Clerity.
