Greenway's PrimeSUITE Receives 2014 ONC HIT Certification
CARROLLTON, Ga. --(Business Wire)--
Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc., announced today that Greenway
PrimeSUITE 2014 (17.0) is compliant with the ONC 2014 Edition criteria
and was certified as an EHR Module on Jan. 15, 2013 by the Certification
Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC-ACB, in
accordance with the applicable eligible provider certification criteria
adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The ONC 2014
Edition criteria support both Stage 1 and 2 meaningful use measures
required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
"We believe this certification puts Greenway at the forefront of EHR
companies helping providers achieve Meaningful Use Stage 2," said Tee
Green, Greenway® president and chief executive officer. "Just as Stage 1
helped drive innovation, Stage 2 incentives will spur even greater EHR
adoption and support for the growing initiatives of coordinated care,
consumerism and the evolution towards true value-based medicine in the
United States. Greenway plans to achieve Complete EHR certification as
soon as possible."
The ONC HIT Certification Program certifies that Complete EHRs meet all
of the 2014 Edition criteria and EHR Modules meet one or more - but not
all - of the criteria approved by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) for either eligible provider or hospital technology.
Companies offering ONC HIT certified EHR modules may return to test
additional ONC 2014 Edition criteria and certify their products as
Complete EHRs later. ONC HIT certification updates will be available at http://www.cchit.org
as they occur.
"CCHIT congratulates companies successfully achieving EHR technology
certification," said Alisa Ray, executive director, CCHIT. "These
companies are now able to make their products available to providers
wishing to adopt health IT to demonstrate meaningful use and earn
federal incentives."
Greenways PrimeSUITE 2014's certification number is CC-2014-699072-1.
ONC HIT certification conferred by CCHIT does not represent an
endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
Greenway PrimeSUITE 2014 meets the following certification criteria:
-
170.314(g)(3) Safety-enhanced design
-
170.314(g)(4) Quality management system
