Industry Leadership

Greenway’s Leadership Team formed more than a decade ago to apply its vision toward creating an integrated physician and provider platform in support of establishing a smarter and more sustainable healthcare system. Greenway leadership has realized the blueprint for improved healthcare delivery as a supportive model for national and international care coordination.

Our team established a dual leadership pathway of internal and external strategies by recognizing that the future of healthcare was tied not only to best practice technology, but also to the shaping of industry and regulatory standards and initiatives that together with corporate initiatives can improve population health.

This understanding has led Greenway’s Leadership Team to hold chair, co-chair, board, and/or advisory positions within multiple industry organizations, such as:

The Accountable Care Community of Practice (AC CoP)
The National HIMSS Electronic Health Records Association (EHR Association)
The eHealth Initiative (EHI)
Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) board, a global interoperability standards initiative
National Quality Foundation (NQF)
Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC)
Texas Health Institute (THI)
Metro Atlanta Chamber Bioscience Leadership Council
Cal eConnect Business Advisory Group
Regional Extension Center (REC) Community of Practice
Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) Confidentiality Coalition, steering committee
National Science Foundation Body of Knowledge Advisory Board (NSF)
Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) Privacy Expert Panel
National Health IT Week

Additionally, Greenway leadership has maintained a strategic advisory capacity with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). Greenway has also provided guidance and testimony to Congressional bodies and presidential administrations on more than a dozen occasions since 2005, all on matters of health IT now becoming realized through national EHR incentive, quality reporting and care coordination programs.
