Participation to Extend Industry-Wide
Standards-Based Interoperability, Further Meaningful Use Stage 2
Data Exchange
Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc. continues its industry
leadership role in fostering interoperability and data liquidity to
improve care coordination and outcomes by becoming the first
ambulatory HIT solutions provider to join Healtheway, Inc. and
support the national eHealth Exchange. Healtheway is a
public-private collaborative that promotes health information
interoperability to improve patient care, streamline disability
benefit claims and enhance public health reporting.
The move by Greenway® is the latest example of the company’s
market leadership and innovation. Greenway PrimeSUITE® was the
first ambulatory electronic health record to be certified as a
Complete EHR by the Certification Commission for Health Information
Technology (CCHIT) under ONC 2014 Edition criteria and the first to
be gold certified for Cerner interoperability under the Cerner
Interoperability Certification Program. Greenway was the first
company to announce successful data sharing between its solution at
a customer practice and Epic Systems’ solution at an area hospital
system, improving community care coordination. And earlier this
year, Greenway was a founding member of the CommonWell Health
Alliance, a multi-vendor, non-profit association committed to
fostering national standards and processes for secure data
sharing.
Greenway was also recognized in September 2012 as a
“trailblazing company” by the Office of the National Coordinator
for Health Information Technology for its effectiveness in
improving consumers’ access to their health data and fostering
greater direct involvement in their own health.
Greenway Regarded as Early Adopter
“Greenway’s early-adopter work in standards-based exchange and
its organizational collaborations are well-known in the industry,”
said Healtheway Executive Director Mariann Yeager. “We welcome
Greenway’s real-world experience and expertise as a vital addition
to our expanding reach and success.”
Healtheway also partners with the Care Connectivity Consortium
(CCC) and the EHR/HIE Interoperability Workgroup, of which Greenway
is a founding member.
Exchanging Information for Over 70 Million Patients
The eHealth Exchange evolved from the Office of the National
Coordinator of HIT’s original Nationwide Health Information Network
(NwHIN) program initiative that demonstrated early exchange efforts
among federal agencies, including the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Administration, Department of Defense, Social Security
Administration, and the Veterans Health Administration, with
private sector organizations. Since 2009, the eHealth Exchange has
grown dramatically, interconnecting health systems, academic
medical centers regional and state health information exchange
organizations and federal agencies. As the eHealth Exchange
community grew, Healtheway extended its programs to broader
industry engagement, with founding members such as the American
Medical Association (AMA), Kaiser Permanente and the Workgroup for
Electronic Data Exchange (WEDI).
With Healtheway’s support, the eHealth Exchange community has
expanded to include more than 40 participants representing more
than 800 hospitals, 7,000 medical groups as well as more than 800
dialysis centers and 800 retail pharmacies across the U.S. Today,
the eHealth Exchange community is exchanging information for more
than 70 million patients.
As a successful connectivity network, the eHealth Exchange was
recognized within the meaningful use Stage 2 Final Rule transitions
of care measure as a fulfillment option for eligible professionals
exchanging patient data, “where the recipient receives the summary
of care record via exchange facilitated by an organization that is
an eHealth Exchange participant.” The Final Rule also allows
transmission via Direct Secure Messaging, to which Greenway’s
PrimeSUITE solution is already certified as part of its Complete
Stage 2 certification.
Data Liquidity Becoming National Priority
“Greenway has championed interoperability for years as a key
requirement for advanced care coordination and improved population
health,” said Greenway President and Chief Executive Officer Tee
Green. “In joining Healtheway and supporting the national eHealth
Exchange, we’ll contribute to this very important movement while
expanding our customers’ interoperability options and ability to
excel at care coordination. We encourage other HIT solution
providers to actively participate as well.”
