At the 2011 HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and leading provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity solutions, today unveiled several new innovations to help providers advance collaborative care and clinical integration across the continuum. The event is being held from February 20 - 24 at the Orange County Convention Center, in Orlando, Fla.
Designed to help providers reach peak performance, NextGen Healthcare's breadth of product and service lines, industry expertise, and consulting resources reach across the continuum of care to drive initiatives such as Medical Home and Accountable Care. Augmenting its position as a single vendor for integrated inpatient, ambulatory, connectivity and quality management solutions, NextGen Healthcare announced several key enhancements to its portfolio, on view this week at HIMSS11 booth #2163:
Next Generation EHR. Simple, smart and sleek, the company's next generation EHR is based upon more than 20 years of clinical experience and input from thousands of clinical users. The redesigned system boasts automated outcomes reporting, enhanced disease management workflows, and precise content for more than 25 specialties. A new user interface and streamlined navigation make the latest version of NextGen® Ambulatory EHR faster and easier to use, helping providers set the stage to participate in patient-centered care and truly transform their practice.
NextPen™ is an innovative new digital pen device that quickly and accurately captures structured patient data directly from paper into a patient's record in NextGen Ambulatory EHR, eliminating the need to scan forms or pay for transcriptions. Through a simple docking station, the captured information, notes, orders, drawings, diagnoses, and more are converted into structured data that can be viewed and verified instantly for population in pre-determined fields in the patient's record.
NextGen® Mobile enables providers to access the power of NextGen Ambulatory EHR anywhere, anytime - helping them make faster, more informed medical decisions. The technology's smart workflows allow providers to conveniently access clinical documentation and NextGen Healthcare's medication module, as well as ePrescribe and capture charges. Physicians can also view appointments, document phone calls, and update important components of the patient record automatically. Also with NextGen Mobile, physicians can collaborate with their peers in real time, viewing the same information from multiple locations. The browser-based application runs on a variety of popular platforms, including iPad®, Blackberry®, iPhone®, and HTC Droid®, or devices using the Apple®, Android™ (Google), or Blackberry (RIM®) operating systems.
NextGen® Quality Management Services include a suite of innovative solutions designed to empower providers by helping to strengthen clinical outcomes and care coordination. The suite includes NextGen® Health Quality Measures (HQM) Reporting Module, a proprietary, clinical data repository to help monitor quality outcomes and automate registry reporting for incentive programs such as Meaningful Use, Bridges to Excellence and PQRI; and NextGen Dashboard, a rich graphical interface used to monitor and analyze critical data and operational performance across all NextGen® ambulatory solutions and other information sources.
"NextGen Healthcare's solutions and services are world-class, but we always strive to look forward and support the infrastructure healthcare organizations need to stay ahead of the curve. Through these new innovations as well as NextGensm Consulting services, we are delivering ground-breaking new ways to enhance providers' performance," said Scott Decker, president of NextGen Healthcare. "We previewed some of these solutions at the 2010 NextGen Users Group Meeting and the excitement was contagious. Now, at HIMSS11, we're equally as energized to help propel efficiency, quality of care and collaboration forward for the entire provider community."
