Original Press Release:
Greenway Elevates Patient Data Intelligence with PrimeDATACLOUD
Break-Through Platform Employs Cloud Technology to Deliver Improved Care Coordination, Analytics, Quality Reporting and Outcomes Management
CARROLLTON, Ga., -- Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of innovative electronic health record (EHR) business solutions, today announced the launch of its care delivery platform, PrimeDATACLOUD(TM), to improve care coordination and patient outcomes with real-time access to comprehensive, aggregated patient data. PrimeDATACLOUD is the latest service to join Greenway's integrated EHR, practice management and interoperability solution PrimeSUITE® 2011.
PrimeDATACLOUD leverages cloud technology to enable HIPAA-compliant access to patient and practitioner records in a secure environment that facilitates virtual collaboration. While similar technologies have limitations in areas such as care coordination or quality reporting, services strong in these areas that also deliver valuable data analysis have become more in demand. This innovative solution gives physician practices and health systems access to eight key capabilities that address analytics and reporting needs.
The PrimeDATACLOUD platform recognizes and aggregates data from various EHR and Health Information System (HIS) platforms and allows practices to engage with Health Information Exchanges (HIE) and other data sharing avenues, opening the door to a wide range of analysis opportunities beyond the walls of a single practice. This innovation brings a wealth of information together at one source, and is accessible through PrimeSUITE, secure web services, or directly from a browser.
Physician practices can easily access the vast resources and data offered by PrimeDATACLOUD with little IT infrastructure and limited investment. System resources are scalable and tailored around the needs of the participating practice or health system. Each of the dynamic services available offers real time access to comprehensive patient data and documents from participating providers. This can be critical in time-sensitive or demanding medical situations, like labor and delivery or organ transplantations.
"Today's healthcare practitioners understand that the best patient outcomes are achieved when providers collaborate as a network instead of practicing in isolation," said Greenway® President and CEO Tee Green. "PrimeDATACLOUD helps providers achieve greater care coordination by pooling information and improving clinical awareness. Dedicated services or platforms that promote collaboration between practices will ultimately improve outcomes and make the system more efficient and effective."
Collaborative care has emerged as a necessary strategy to remain viable and increase the quality of care in the modern healthcare landscape. Access to the powerful analytic capabilities offered by PrimeDATACLOUD opens the door to more data value and helps paint a broad picture of patient history and community health.
"At Premier Family Physicians, we have begun utilizing this technology for a range of practice-wide wellness programs, building upon what we were able to achieve through PrimeSUITE's Meaningful Use Dashboard," said Kevin Spencer, MD. "Greenway tailored certain aspects of the PrimeDATACLOUD that lets us see exactly how we are managing our patient population," Spencer said of the growing Austin, Texas-based practice. "In addition, as we pursue the CMS Shared Savings program, we are confident in our ability to participate in the broad data sharing, analytics, patient engagement and tracking that Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) require."
Increased access to community-wide health information will answer a host of important questions physicians may have toward understanding comprehensive wellness data for an entire patient population. Questions such as whether certain screenings are being conducted with regularity in a patient base, and whether patients are being fully compliant with care plans are easily captured and answered through PrimeDATACLOUD, allowing participating providers to strengthen reporting, clinical decision-making and communication capabilities.
PrimeDATACLOUD's range of services also includes quality reporting capabilities and business intelligence services that build ROI, and that increase efficiencies with a variety of practice and community reporting needs
