GE Healthcare system to be put in 21 Intermountain Healthcare locations
Laptop Battery By WTN News • 02/14/06 GE Healthcare and Intermountain Healthcare announced a contract to put GE's Centricity system, a combined picture archiving communications system (PACS) solution and radiology information system (RIS), in 21 institutions across Intermountain Healthcare's network.
When complete, the installation will mark the largest GE centralized PACS installation in the United States. The announcement was made during the 2006 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition in San Diego.
As part of the partnership announced in February 2005, GE and Intermountain Healthcare's team members are working together to research and develop advances to GE's Centricity software IT platform.
GE also intends to provide other Centricity technologies over the next five years, including computerized physician order entry (CPOE), across institutions within Intermountain Healthcare's network, which includes 92 clinics and physician offices and 21 hospitals in Utah and Idaho, serving more than 2 million patients.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
