In hospitals, lives depend on timely, complete patient information in the hands of skilled clinicians. Yet, despite advances in diagnostics and treatment, most hospitals maintain patient records manually, which is labor-intensive and error-prone.

This is about to change. We're providing the technology to build a digital hospital. It will be paperless, filmless and wireless, and it will revolutionize the way clinical information is managed.

 When The Indiana Heart Hospital in Indianapolis opens, a patient's complete health history will be accessible with a few keystrokes from a single, digitized patient record – allergies, medications, past diagnostic images and more. Caregivers will be able to make incredibly accurate treatment decisions faster than ever. The result: better outcomes for patients.

In the years ahead, healthcare providers will invest billions in new information technologies. In less than two years, we've assembled the tools and talent to make GE the market's leading player. We've added our Six Sigma expertise to healthcare processes. As a result, we're fundamentally changing the industry and making an important difference in people's lives.
