This will be especially important for our aging population. Are there job opportunites for record/database entry for home-based computer proficient persons?

Ultimately the product sells itself, however. In my own experience, the Centricity EMR has reduced my overhead to 38%, while substantially improving quality of care and personal job satisfaction, though these improvements are not realized immediately, taking at least several years, as one shifts to a completely digital workflow. It is in the rollout, then, that GE proves it's superiority over its competitors, supporting the protean needs of this growing new service industry. Tailoring the Centricity EMR to distinguish and process medical needs from wants, in a variety of environments, large and small, is the key in developing an efficiency that will save us in this growing healthcare crisis.

Upon serving the Miami Hispanic population for 15 years as a Nuclear Medicine/MR Technologist the most important form of commuciation is both verbal and non-verbal. Patients will recognized and appreciated your sincerity.

With the aging of the population, earlier discharges from acute care, skilled nursing facilities are caring for more short term, sub-acute patients. Does GE have plans for integrating this necessary part of the care continuum into its systems?
