NextGen Healthcare began as a software company for dental services. It was founded in 1974. Quality Systems Inc. was the name of the company back then. After more than 40 years of experience in the industry and several mergers and acquisitions, NextGen systems became what we now know. NextGen Healthcare Systems was founded in 1997.
Its goals remain consistent and clear, despite mergers and acquisitions. NextGen Healthcare, as the name suggests, aims to work with healthcare providers to provide better care, save time and increase their bottom lines by using 'nextgen meditouch’ approaches.
It is quite simple how they do it. Simply adopting an EHR system can help physicians save
time and money on administrative and billing duties. This allows them to spend more time providing care for patients. Data usage is the 'nextgen" aspect. This is not just my opinion. NextGen customer reviews support it. NextGen also stated in black and white that they allow clinicians to be more productive.
"We are committed towards promoting seamless information flows through delivering predictable financial results, and ensuring frictionless interaction. We also aim to improve care coordination through providing insights that detect gaps and manage risks.
This being said, if your time and money are going to be invested in an EHR system, you will need to have more than user reviews and company mission statements.
These are the top three reasons to invest in NextGen EMR.
NextGen Features
NextGen EHR is expected to have next-generation functionality. It comes with all the features you would expect in an EHR system. It offers mobile compatibility, appointment scheduling and reminders, medical billing, e-prescribing, a clearinghouse and dedicated clearinghouse.

The patient engagement environment has been transformed by consumerism, patient expectations and COVID-19. An online platform for patient engagement meets these criteria in a safe, convenient, and seamless manner.
NextGens' patient engagement platform combines a patient portal, patient self scheduling,
virtual visits and online payment options into one platform. This allows you to offer 24/7 access to therapy. This flexible solution is compatible with all third-party EHRs.
NextGen's patient platform allows for easy scheduling of visits, invoicing, pre-visit formalities and virtual visits. The patient portal also includes encrypted communications and medication renewals.
Population Health
Population Health Management involves the analysis and collection of data from a variety of sources. Caregiver's can improve their clinical and financial outcomes by creating a central, actionable patient record. NextGen's population management technologies allow you to engage patients and decrease costs while improving treatment quality.
These systems also offer advanced analytics and population health capabilities, as well as valuable and actionable insights derived from administrative, financial, clinical and financial data.
These skills are essential for managing the health of the population and include but not limited to:
Analytics for population health
Identification of gaps in care and risk stratification
Care coordination
Increased resource consumption
Interoperability, Connected Health
Interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems communicate and exchange crucial data. Healthcare caregivers can collaborate more effectively within and beyond their organizational boundaries by using interoperability.
To provide the best care possible at the most affordable cost, organizations must be able to acquire and disseminate as much information as possible. NextGen's interoperable, integrated solutions and services allow you to maximize the value of existing technology and provide seamless patient care.
These are the key interoperability characteristics of NextGen EMR.
Transaktional data exchange
APIs that can be used immediately
Data collection
Conformity to a national interoperability structure
NextGen Reviews
Negative NexGen reviews are rare and far between, if you look for them. This is my favorite reason to choose NextGen EMR. There are very few user complaints and they are rarely repeated. NextGen EMR users are happy with their investment.
Awards
NextGen may overlook a few but end up with many more than they can count. These are some of the most prominent from this year:
