Greenway Medical Technologies Partners With Walgreens Subsidiary Take Care Health Employer Solutions To Deploy PrimeSuite EHR Solution in Workplace Health Centers
Technology Will Aid in Reducing Employer Healthcare Costs While Driving Improved Patient Outcomes
CARROLLTON, Ga., March 1 -- Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc. is today announcing a partnership to supply the company's integrated electronic health record (EHR) and interoperability solution PrimeSuite® to Take Care Health Employer Solutions, the nation's largest and most comprehensive provider of worksite health and wellness services and pharmacy.
Take Care Health Employer Solutions builds and operates workplace-based health centers which offer a variety of customized services including primary and acute care, occupational health, pharmacy, physical therapy, radiology, wellness, fitness and disease management. According to research from Fuld & Company, implementation of worksite health centers has been shown to offer employers immediate savings of more than ten percent of their total healthcare costs while driving improved behavior and patient outcomes in employee populations.
The deployment of Greenway's PrimeSuite will enhance the existing capabilities of Take Care Health Employer Solutions' primary and acute care health centers by streamlining access, maintenance and sharing of clinical and administrative information. This increased efficiency will enable increased interaction between providers and patients, leading to improvements in health outcomes and additional return on investment for employers.
"We are excited to be a part of this progressive model of healthcare delivery," said Greenway President Tee Green. "Workplace healthcare has proven outcomes including increased compliance, coordinated patient care and lower costs. We believe PrimeSuite was the best choice to integrate clinical, financial and administrative functions to advance information exchange between the company's primary care and acute health centers, and to provide the foundation for enhanced reporting which will drive improved patient outcomes. Above all, this partnership continues both of our companies' missions of improving population health."
Greenway's PrimeSuite enhances efficiency by utilizing a single-database architecture, providing true integration of clinical, financial and administrative data throughout the patient experience. Patient care plans are automatically merged with scheduling, coding and processing.
"Our goal at Take Care Health Systems is to continuously seek out and implement innovative services and solutions which will allow us to mitigate the trend of rising healthcare costs while improving access to high-quality care," said Peter Hotz, Walgreens divisional vice president and president of Take Care Health Employer Solutions. "Partnering with Greenway to roll-out their PrimeSuite EHR provides a unified electronic platform to further allow Take Care Health clinicians at worksite health centers to serve patients with unprecedented levels of interaction, care and accuracy. In addition, we'll have the flexibility to meet the needs of our existing clients and continue to offer enhanced solutions and services as our business grows."
Implementation of PrimeSuite will occur at select new and existing Take Care Health Employer Solutions sites in 2010 and beyond.
