CARROLLTON, Ga. -- Largest Southeast Medical Association Endorses Greenway 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 health records (EHR) software solutions for physicians' practices, announces its endorsement by the Southern Medical Association (SMA) as a preferred vendor. The SMA, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, is the largest southeast medical association with more than 20,000 members representing 28 specialties in 17 states.

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 the SMA and the opportunity for privileged participation in member group meetings and forums.

"We are proud to be able to bring valuable benefits to our members through this relationship with Greenway," said Ed Waldron, Executive Vice President of Southern Medical Association. "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."

The SMA expects this recognition of Greenway to ultimately improve its members' current work environment and help make the practice of medicine more satisfying to physicians and their staff.

In the selection of PrimeSuite, SMA noted Greenway's dedication and focus on serving the medical practice marketplace, as well as the uniqueness of the product. Specifically, the group was favorably impressed that PrimeSuite has been designed and developed as an integrated practice management and EHR system, that the EHR'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).

SMA also recognized the value that Greenway's solutions could bring to its members' practices, in terms of improving a practice's financial management, enhancing patient satisfaction, and optimizing overall practice efficiency.

"It is an honor to be endorsed by the Southern Medical Association," said Tee Green, President and COO of Greenway.

This endorsement further validates our mission and progress, and we are proud to be affiliated with the SMA."
