You may or may not be aware that Walgreens uses Greenway medical records at their retail clinics and this looks to be one more layer to reach out to patients. There was a lot going on at Greenway last year 
as it returned back to being a private company from being traded for only a couple years as a public company. You can read more at the link below on that topic from a few months ago.

In addition, Greenway has partnered with Humana, the health insurer to also bring incentives to providers for purchasing their systems with PrimeSUITE .

We heard at HIMSS this year patient engagement was going to be a prime topic and this 
acquisition seems to be right in line there. The software will reach out and remind patients of appointments and other items related to their care so as I read this is appears this will be integrated into the Greenway system as that would make sense versus another separate platform. We have enough of that out there today with competition.
I would hope patients will be able to set their alert levels PeopleLYNK as well. We a lot of choices out there today and selecting what we want and where we want it is a big deal so we don’t end up with overdoing it with too many alerts and get the ones we think as a patients is what we need.
