NextGen EMR affords you unsurpassed opportunities to enhance your practice’s disease management programs and, consequently, improve patient care outcomes.
Both the standardized templates and those you customize to meet unique internal objectives create a wealth of information you can analyze through NextGen EMR’s robust reporting functionality. The templates themselves facilitate legible, thorough, and consistent charting, prompting providers to complete required fields so stringent clinical guidelines are met. You can then devise specific monitoring and reporting activities, mining this data to improve care.
With this information, you can establish or expand disease management programs (such as Coumadin clinics) targeted at patients who could benefit most. Additionally, you can evaluate care outcomes against HEDIS measures to establish practice-wide standards that can be tracked, and for which physicians can be held accountable.
NextGen EMR functionality allows you to create a health matrix with tools, reports, and alerts to document patients’ compliance with their individual care plans (e.g., periodic stress testing for post-bypass patients). Orders and referrals can be tracked and patient reminders can be generated automatically. The result: greater patient compliance, improved clinical outcomes, reduced malpractice liability, and enhanced payer-contracting opportunities.
