The hospital I am working at has GE CPS 10 and a clinic that is a separate entity but very closely associated also has GE CPS 10. Is there a way to export the patients meds, probs, and allergies so when imported in to the other system, it populates the clinical lists?
I have been able to export and import a CCD which looks nice but isn't exactly what we are looking for.
Thank you for any help.

You can export the clinical kits for Meds, Probs, Allergies, Orders, etc from the system you want then you can just import the clinical kit to the CPS that you do want. It is done in Admin. Or in Go > Setup > Settings....It is located in either spot depending if you are on the combined product (PM and EMR).
WORD TO THE WISE: (some of you plug your ears) - when you import from other systems...sometimes you import thier junk too and you should still go over the contents and organize it once you import. Feel free to reach out to me if you need help. [email protected]
I'm actually wanting the med list, problem list, and allergies from a particular patient. And then be able to import that back in and have it populate the appropriate lists.
For instance, we have a family practice doctor send a patient over to the orthopedic surgeon for a consult. During the family practice visit, the patient's meds, problems, allergies, histories, etc, were entered.
When that patient shows up at the orthopedic clinic, we would like to import all of that same information into GE at the ortho clinic.
Currently, we have to re-add it. The patient gets frustrated because they just gave all this information to the family practice doctor a few days ago but we're asking for it again at ortho.
I hope this makes sense.

Oh, I see. Yeah, other than exporting and importing the CCD, I do not have any more advice unless you can do some sort of conversion.
if you have "creative control" over both systems it would be pretty easy to write out (export) meds/probs/allergies/observations, whatever, to a delimited text file then read in and parse (import) that file in to a separate instance of Centricity. The MEL toolkit has everything you need to do this. A home grown HIE! RE-read the HIPAA rule and be sure that the patient information file moves from point A to point B securely.
You could do it all in one form. Be sure to do some basic patient verification. A number of folks on this list could author that form.
