VERNON HILLS, Ill., and CARROLLTON, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CDW Healthcare, part of the public sector subsidiary of CDW LLC, and Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of innovative electronic health record (EHR), ambulatory healthcare and clinical research business solutions, today announced a partnership to deliver a comprehensive EHR utilizing Greenway Medical’s PrimeSUITE® offering. PrimeSUITE 2011 is an Office of the National Coordinator - Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) complete EHR that supports the 2011/2012 criteria for Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The new partnership with CDW Healthcare is the largest channel partner agreement signed by Greenway® in its 12-year history.
