CARROLLTON, Ga. -- Largest Specialty Society in Georgia Endorses Greenway(R) Medical Technologies as a Leading Provider of Integrated Software for Medical Practices

Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of integrated practice management and electronic medical records (EMR) software solutions for physicians' practices, announces its endorsement by the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians (GAFP) as a preferred vendor. As the largest specialty society in Georgia, the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians is committed to assisting their members to deliver high quality care to the patients in Georgia.

Greenway's PrimeSuite(R) solution integrates a medical practice's clinical, financial, and administrative processes, streamlining practice workflow and enhancing practice profitability. Through inclusion in this program, Greenway has received the endorsement of GAFP and the opportunity for privileged participation in member group meetings and forums.

Prior to the selection of Greenway as a preferred vendor by the GAFP, Greenway participated in a product and corporate evaluation performed by the GAFP's Practice Management committee of physicians. The GAFP expects this recognition of Greenway to ultimately improve our members' current work environment and help make the practice of medicine more satisfying to family physicians and their staff. In making its selection, GAFP noted Greenway's dedication and focus on serving the medical practice marketplace, as well as the uniqueness of PrimeSuite. Specifically, the group was favorably impressed that PrimeSuite has been designed and developed as an integrated practice management and EMR system, that the EMR's versatility accommodates the variety of styles and needs amongst family physicians and different medical specialties, and that PrimeSuite has been built on the latest technological platform (Microsoft's .NET platform).

The GAFP evaluation committee recognized the value that Greenway's products could bring to its members' practices, in terms of improving a practice's financial management, enhancing patient satisfaction, and optimizing overall practice efficiency.

"We are proud to be able to bring valuable benefits to our members through this relationship with Greenway," said D. Ann Travis, MD, President of the GAFP. "From a physician's standpoint, PrimeSuite is a flexible, powerful tool doctors can easily incorporate into their practices in order to carry out the administrative and regulatory responsibilities without compromising patient relationships. PrimeSuite provides a seamless workflow solution which meets the needs of the flow of patient data through the office system, which is an important indicator of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in physician practices."

"It is an honor to be endorsed by the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians," said Tee Green, President and COO of Greenway. "Through selection by and participation in the GAFP vendor evaluation, we have the opportunity to enhance our presence in the healthcare marketplace. This endorsement further validates our mission and progress, and we are proud to be affiliated with the GAFP."
