TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Greenway
Health, a leading health information technology and services
provider, announced today that its Prime Suite and Intergy
customers can now leverage the Carequality Interoperability
Framework via the nationwide CommonWell network, increasing their
users' access to patient health information and ultimately
improving patient care. As one of the founding members of
CommonWell Health Alliance®, a not-for-profit trade association
working to increase access to health data nationwide, this
enhancement is an extension of Greenway's long-term commitment to
its customers and to CommonWell.
Greenway was one of the first CommonWell members to begin
offering its customers access to CommonWell interoperability
services in 2015, which today provides customers access to more
than 15,000 clinical provider sites nationwide. Continuing its
innovative leadership, Greenway was one of two companies in 2018 to
pilot the CommonWell connection to the Carequality Interoperability
Framework. The connection allows CommonWell-enabled health care
providers, which now includes providers using Greenway's Prime
Suite and Intergy, to exchange health data with the members of all
other implementers of the Carequality Interoperability Framework,
greatly increasing participating providers' access to their
patient's health data nationwide.
"Not only is this a valuable opportunity for our customers, but
this marks a significant milestone on the path to achieving true
nationwide health data exchange," said Glenn Wilensky, vice president of implementation
and professional services at Greenway Health and member of the
CommonWell Board of Directors. "Together, we are advancing the
vision of CommonWell to make health data available to individuals
and providers regardless of where care occurs."
Improving Visibility Across the Continuum of Care
Historically, providers have struggled to match patients and locate
their health records as they move through care settings. Whether a
person resides in one location or moves throughout her lifetime, a
person's health records reside in disparate health IT systems and
care settings. Today's announcement allows Greenway customers to
overcome interoperability challenges by connecting and bilaterally
exchanging health data with both CommonWell and Carequality-enabled
health care providers across the United
States.
"At CommonWell, we have created and deployed a vendor-neutral
platform that breaks down the technological and process barriers
that inhibit effective health data exchange," said Paul Wilder, executive director of CommonWell
Health Alliance. "By connecting large health systems, clinics,
specialists and many more care venues, the CommonWell-Carequality
connection offers valuable patient insights to providers, like
Greenway's more than 6,000 customers, as they strive to deliver the
best care possible to their patients."
The connection to Carequality-enabled providers via CommonWell
is now available for free to all Greenway Intergy and Prime Suite
customers. To see which providers are currently connected, view Who
is Connected on the CommonWell website and the Active Sites' page
on the Carequality website.
