Greenways PrimeSuite selected for ONCs Direct Project
As part of the rollout of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT's (ONC) Direct Project, Greenway Medical's PrimeSuite 2011 EHR, practice management and interoperability suite has been selected to facilitate point-to-point routing of patient data.
Led by the Fishkill, N.Y.-based health information service provider MedAllies, the region's initiative will utilize the specialist medicine and referral capabilities of Greenway customer site Allergy and Asthma Associates of Westchester, with locations in Scarsdale and Mamaroneck, N.Y.
The Direct Project is seeking to establish a secure, interoperable health IT infrastructure nationwide for the routing of patient data to support care coordination and transition of care settings through standards-based messaging among providers, hospitals and labs.
MedAllies provides a specialist and referral provider database and the addressing and routing capabilities from within EHR systems, according to its CEO A. John Blair III, MD.
At the 2011 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference, Feb. 21 to 24 in Orlando, Fla., the Direct Project collaboration between PrimeSuite, MedAllies and Allergy and Asthma Associates of Westchester conducted a series of demonstrations.
The closed-loop demonstrations routed primary care provider (PCP) consultation and referral data to allergy and asthma specialists, and then back to the PCP by capturing active medications, problem list, referral objectives and other pertinent information. Upon go-live, EHR routing will include administrative data such as patient registration, coverage and appointment scheduling in the transmissions.
