Misspelling + Helpful tips

I’m not sure if this is the right place to mention this. Under the refusal form, bone density is spelled “Bone Desnsity” I am a scribe and I work with a family medicine doctor. There were many times that she print out about prescriptions that is signed under an MA or phone person. This is frustrating […]

CPOE A&P- CCC form inserting ALL orders

After upgrading to EMR 9.12 and CCC basic 1.5.2.52 our CPOE form seems to be inserting ALL orders ever associated with a diagnosis that is entered into the assessment line. This is causing a problem because typically we will get the message that “The assessment edit field maximum size will be exceeded by the addition […]

Hello, Is there a way to make the obsnow function push to the date of the document instead of today’s date? I could have sworn in the past, it would put the observation in as the clinical date of the document. Now it is definitely using today’s date. Here is my quicktext: {OBSNOW(“MCAREANEXAM”,”medicare cpe”,””)} I tried […]

Adding Problems to a field

I got information from another form that is populating a specific field with the problem when it is selected from the dynamic patient list.   There is a button with the below Run Process that is supposed to do this: { SLMV_FN_AddProb_ToDiagImp(“Diagnostic Impression”) }     Below is the function built to populate the appropriate Diagnostic Impression field, […]

Hello, Is there anyone out there using CEMR to document for a ASC? We have a ASC that currently maintains a paper chart for patients, while our Urology clinic uses CEMR to document outpatient care.

Additional Potential Diagnoses appearing

Hello, I have a form that adds in an order, along with a diagnosis code using the “MEL_ADD_ORDER” function. The problem I am seeing is that in the orders window, under the potential diagnosis section, there are additional options coming up that I do not want. The additional potential diagnosis that I do not want, […]

Report Needed

Hi Everyone,   Does anyone know of a report that they’re currently able to run that will allow us to see activity on the back end? Maybe a query that I can execute in the database? We’d like to be able to see any documents removed/routed off a providers desktop and by who.     […]

Faxing Solutions

I was wondering if there is a Fax Solution for Centricity that will make our lives easier? Currently, we use the old way of faxing and spent a lot of money on paper/ink. What options are available that can integrate the workflow of handling incoming and out bonding faxes ? Our providers are asking if […]

Contact Name listed in error

We have recently noticed that a large number of our patients have a person listed on their contact in EMR. We are not sure when this happened and/or how it happened. I have opened a ticket with GE to try and find a way to identify all of the patients that have this person listed […]

Editing Dragon dictation in CPS 12

We recently updated to CPS 12.0.11 and one of our providers is having an issue when he tries to edit with Dragon.  When he is dictating into CPS, Dragon capitalizes and spaces words correctly but when he tries to edit that dictation, or a template he’s inserted,  it won’t insert spaces or capitalize the way it’s […]

We are getting a lot of complaints from our compliance department about inappropriate mapping of ICD-10 codes.  I was thinking that I had heard something about being able to edit specific mappings, but I cannot find anything in the system that would allow me to do that.  Did I dream this, or has anyone found […]

EMR security

Chart update security is primarily based on permission to sign various document types. Clinical folks can sign clinical document types of course, but what’s to prevent a non-clinical user (bad actor) with signing privileges for a non-clinical document type from making changes to clinical information, then signing the update? It seems to me this has […]

We have a custom Immunization form that has been revised to send to the new Immunization table on the database with EMR 9.8. We have been able to get everything coded correctly and sent to the table and picked up by QIE to send on to the State Registry except for the Manufacturer. It stops […]

I thought everyone would like to know that GE updated their user guides for MU and PQRS PDF formatted user guides CPS – https://engage.gehealthcare.com/docs/DOC-139054 EMR – https://engage.gehealthcare.com/docs/DOC-139053 CHM formatted user guides CPS – https://engage.gehealthcare.com/docs/DOC-43116 EMR – https://engage.gehealthcare.com/docs/DOC-38273

Good Day Chuggers! We just started using Centricity EMR-only at our urgent care office (all our other offices have been on it for years). At our urgent care we have onsite lab and rads as well as all the regular procedures (sutures,splints, etc) done in an urgent care setting. Patients are not scheduled, walk ins […]

Our facility currently has GE Centricity Business 5.1+ and GE EMR 9.8. We access EMR through Citrix and use Web Framework for accessing CB (IDX). We are implementing Patient Online (POL) and we are looking for ways to migrate the two systems together to allow users to access POL tasks without having to open two […]

Hi CHUG, This has come up quite a bit lately so I thought the best approach is to do a survey on how others are dealing with this scenario. There is no audit tool built in to audit PM charges verses EMR Orders.  Billers are often given the discretion to make changes to the ticket […]

Handling of PDFs

How does everyone deal with PDF compression especially once they have been indexed into the CPS?  We are using DocuTrack, and do not want to burden the providers or staff with optimizing each PDF file that they want to add.

Pre-Load Charts

Is anyone familiar with a method or program for pre-loading charts.  We would like to scan appointments during early morning off hours and pre-load charts for all patients with an appointment that day.   We're trying to do this because of the cache use within Oracle and the fact that it holds data for 24 […]

Bug Tracker/Knowledgebase site

Going along with the advocacy initiative, a project that I think would be beneficial to this community and to GE would be some sort of bug tracking/knowledgebase website for Centricity products. Contributions could come from both GE and the user community. The “engage.gehealthcare.com” site is a welcome improvement over the junk we used to have, […]

Any users out there experience this sort of upgrade before.  Our practice is awaiting to be scheduled, but just started to bite their nails wondering about all the bumps obstacles in the road migrating from 9.5 to CPS 12.   If not that jump, maybe there is a practice who has just gone from oracle […]

Audit Reports in CEMR 9.6 or 9.8

Hello everyone,   Has anyone created any comprehensive audit reports for EMR 9.6 or EMR 9.8? The canned reports from GE only include one patient identifier (patient name) and in a community where we have hundreds of people with literally the same name, it makes it very difficult to utilize these reports. I would appreciate […]

E-Prescribe Pharmacy Management

Just curious to hear how you manage your eRx pharmacies. Do you export them as-is from the console to the EMR? Do you create custom pharmacies in the EMR and match them on the console? Do you do something completely different? Thanks

We implemented EMR last week and the services are not posting on the appointment ticket line.  The staff is associating the visit with the appointment in EMR when they are opening the Office visit and the provider is using the same office visit to document the visit and order the billable services.  If someone knows […]
