CentricityPM HIPAA Statement

GE Medical Systems is aware that complying with HIPAA is a top priority as you work to meet transaction, security and privacy regulations by 2003. Because these new regulations are an important step forward in protecting patient’s privacy and improving efficiency within the healthcare industry, GE is actively engaged in providing information to help you identify and resolve many of the patient care and business issues you may face as you implement actions to comply with HIPAA.

GE believes emerging privacy and security requirements captured by regulations such as HIPAA are an important improvement to the healthcare industry. We believe the changes required are achieved by policy and process improvements and technology upgrades. We believe the changes are challenging but very doable. In fact, if improvements are made with proven change models such as Six Sigma, a hospital can enjoy a significant financial return on investment.

GE has a longstanding reputation of providing customizable, clinical solutions to protect the privacy and security of your organization’s unique clinical workflow, as well as your patient’s confidentiality. Our products, software and services already incorporate many of the core HIPAA requirements. We are committed to working with you, our customer, to provide additional value to help you meet the continuing HIPAA challenge.

GE offers a holistic solution to HIPAA and other privacy and security needs. GE provides not only technical and workflow recommendations for products, IT systems and services, but also a suite of change management services for hospital-wide HIPAA compliance programs.
