Innovation
At Greenway, our flexible architecture and single database solution is a competitive advantage that brings Innovation to market much more vigorously than most competitors, and allows for the seamless connection of the clinical, financial and administrative data collected by providers using PrimeSUITE to the broad healthcare community.
When “Service is the Main Thing”, the development of new technologies by our Innovation teams becomes a matter of focusing their energies on meeting customer needs. We’re advancing an Innovation strategy that brings to market solutions consistent with how our customers work, while also being responsive to the emerging trends of electronification, consumerism, and improving patient population health.
Our providers want solutions that are intuitive and easy to use, developed and delivered the way they work. With Greenway’s patented system, there are more than 3,000 clinical templates that can give providers on PrimeSUITE a customized look and feel that can be adapted to individual clinical workflows.
Providers are delivering care in an increasingly more complex environment, with rapid changes occurring in how they document for the care they render, and how they will be reimbursed for that care.
PrimeSUITE helps providers achieve increasingly more rigorous standards for meaningful use, including interoperability and increased consumerism, and to adapt to new payment programs that are based on quality measures, including community-wide reporting.
This is becoming an important differentiator, as the “electronification” of the ambulatory provider community is just a precursor to the execution of data liquidity strategies among HIT solutions.
New standards for Meaningful Use of electronic health record systems will require that the data collected by individual providers at the point of care is interoperable with other health information systems and, over time, is shared across communities for quality reporting.
We enjoy a leadership position, with standards-based interoperability relationships with leading acute-care, or inpatient, information technology solutions, including McKesson’s Relay Health, Cerner and Epic. These relationships mean that our “Best in KLAS” ambulatory solutions can effectively interoperate across leading acute-care campuses.
We’re also a recognized “trailblazer” with the Blue Button Initiative, helping providers meet Meaningful Use standards to encourage consumer involvement in managing their health data. This is an emerging standard for patient engagement solutions, a universal symbol being promoted by policymakers as a way to provide consumers with convenient access to their health data. Greenway is one of the first ambulatory solutions to incorporate the Blue Button into its platform.
New payment regimens, which will shift from fee-for-service to quality-based measures, will require more-complex claims submissions that will be driven by clinical systems. We’re prepared to save our customers time and money, and to ensure appropriate reimbursement, when payors convert to systems that reward providers for quality outcomes.
Providers using PrimeSUITE are also finding it increasingly easier to participate in clinical research. By the end of fiscal 2012, more than half of the sites using PrimeSUITE had opted in to PrimeRESEARCH, and enrollment is under way in 10 clinical trials.
PrimeRESEARCH is one example of how our solutions and related business and data services are making an impact on improving population health. Improving population health will occur when ambulatory providers are able to connect with life sciences organizations. Greenway is at the center of pulling these groups together toward this important and shared societal goal.
