August 2009: Riverhills GOES GREEN with an new Electronic Medical Records system...
Riverhills Healthcare, Inc. GOES GREEN! We have purchased a new Electronic Medical Record system (EMR) called Greenway PrimeSuite.

Greenway PrimeSuite is an integrated EMR and practice management system. In early 2009, Riverhills transitioned its practice management system onto Greenway and for the past several months has been working diligently to prepare for implementation of the EMR. At this time, it is anticipated that the RHI practice located in Mt. Auburn will GO LIVE before the end of 2009, with the Northern Kentucky and Montgomery offices to follow soon thereafter.

This EMR system will help the physicians and Riverhills to improve the patient experience and allow the physicians to work more efficiently.
