GE, Inova ink $8.3 million EMR deal

GE Healthcare has signed an $8.3 million deal with Inova Health System for the company's Centricity electronic medical record (EMR) system.

The Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., company will donate a portion of cost savings under the Stark Relaxation's EMR guidelines to community physicians. The guidelines allow hospitals and other healthcare entities to provide EMR technology to physician practices at a subsidy of as much as 85% of software and implementation costs, excluding hardware.

Inova Health System, based in Falls Church, VA, is looking to expand EMR capabilities to some 300 physicians in northern Virginia.
