Greenway Medical Technologies Inc. recently announced the launch of its community healthcare IT solution, PrimeEnterprise, which enables a community of Greenway((R)) customers to securely and seamlessly share select clinical, financial and administrative data.

PrimeEnterprise, part of Greenway's integrated physician's infrastructure that includes the single-database electronic health record (EHR), practice management and interoperability solution, PrimeSuite((R)), also offers "Enterprise search" and "quick connect" features that enable enterprise users to search for a specific patient within the healthcare community and electronically access critical patient information regardless of the information's location.

With PrimeEnterprise, all patient information within the enterprise system can be managed securely and actual patient chart access can be granted based on user-rights. The establishment of an enterprise master patient index (EMPI) and the associated sharing of clinical information amongst participating physicians can also be facilitated through PrimeEnterprise.

The Women's Health Care Group of PA is a 60-physician group with more than 300 care providers and administrators utilizing PrimeSuite( )at 27 locations throughout eastern Pennsylvania. The group utilizes

PrimeEnterprise to instantly access and manage data from any of its 27 locations resulting in a streamlined process by which to manage multi-practice workflow.

"We are very pleased to have a central access point from which to obtain data from any of our ancillary practices," said Dr. Stephen Krell, President of Women's Health Care Group of PA. "The time and energy we save through PrimeEnterprise enables us to invest our efforts into other areas of our practice."

"With the influx of practices that are beginning to adopt EHRs, PrimeEnterprise can help facilitate the controlled sharing of data and patient information between Greenway customers," said Greg Shilling, vice president of business development at Greenway. "This interoperable solution can play a crucial role in helping medical practices securely and efficiently exchange patient information, from small billing issues to critical patient data, all of which can be done in a safe, secure and timely manner."
