PrimeResearch

Our research solution provides access to a vast network of clinical trials, evidence-based medicine and pharmaceutical research, as well as clinical and financial benchmarking services. The result – increased practice revenues and access to patient care improvements.

PrimeResearch, Greenway’s research solution, enables participation in a vast network of clinical trials, evidence-based medical and pharmaceutical research projects and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) public service alerts. PrimeResearch offers clinical and financial benchmarking services to increase practice revenue and foster improvements in patient care and overall population health. PrimeResearch expands the Integrated Physician's Infrastructure to the national level by facilitating public health research and quality matters.

Improve Performance via Clinical and Financial Benchmarking

PrimeResearch can improve clinical quality and financial performance through the use of composite clinical and financial benchmarking services:

• Compare yourself and your providers to each other, previous performance and specified goals
• Compare your practice to others in your specialty, region and practice size
• Compare your practice to national standards and benchmarks set by organizations such as Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), National Committee for Quality Assurance’s Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (NCQA HEDIS), etc.

Benefits for Other Research Entities

PrimeResearch can also benefit pharmaceutical companies and clinical researchers as a significant source of de-identified clinical and financial data including both population and patient information. De-identified data is “scrubbed” electronically to remove the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protected individually identifiable health information in order to protect patient privacy.

As a significant source of de-identified clinical and financial data, PrimeResearch provides access to:

• More than 2.5 million active patients
• Approximately 7 million encounters per year
• More than 4,000 providers who use PrimeSuite, Greenway’s integrated electronic health record (EHR), practice management and interoperability solution

PrimeResearch can also facilitate identification of potential providers and/or patients eligible for clinical trials so that they can be recruited to participate.

Availability of standardized electronic data for such a large population through PrimeResearch means significant savings of time and money over tedious methods required to gather, log and filter the same information from paper charts. Real-time queries can also provide more timely results than other data sources.

Supports HHS “Improve Population Health” Goal

PrimeResearch supports the national health IT objectives of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Framework for Strategic Action: The Decade of Health Information Technology by meeting the “Improve Population Health” goal:

• Unify public health surveillance architectures

Greenway’s Integrated Physician’s Infrastructure is a single database, fully integrated EHR solution that combines all elements required to support your business as it moves from a paper to a digital environment. Greenway’s health IT solution offers a seamless transition from the chaos of reduced, hands-on time with patients, consumer-driven requirements, the need for profitability and ever-increasing regulatory demands.

PrimeSuite is the centerpiece of the Greenway Physician’s Infrastructure, providing complete EHR, practice management, including accont management, registration and scheduling, and interoperability through the electronic exchange of:
