As the federal government takes steps toward the development of a national health information infrastructure, the need for interoperable standards to facilitate this nationwide level of data sharing is becoming increasingly critical.

At the same time, growing concerns about patient safety and the security of patient information demands a more effective framework for storing, accessing and sharing vital patient information at the point of care.

In support of these initiatives, NextGen is committed to the use of broadly accepted software standards to promote product compatibility and facilitate the seamless exchange of patient data between your practice’s information systems and other healthcare entities.

From external information systems at payors, labs, pharmacies and diagnostic imaging centers to other medical records systems, patient portals and medical devices, by strengthening these connections within the continuum of care, NextGen puts you one step closer to accessing all of the data you need, when you need it.
