NextGen ePrescribing
Prescription errors that result from illegible hand-writing, incorrect dosing, and missed drug-drug or drug-allergy reactions contribute to thousands of deaths and billions of wasted dollars each year.
NextGen EHR offers an electronic prescribing and medication management solution to provide an easy, convenient - and now profitable - answer to this problem.
Physicians who transmit prescriptions electronically to pharmacies may earn an incentive payment of 2% of their total Medicare allowed charges during 2009. NextGen ePrescribing will help your practice take advantage of this incentive and:
- Save time by electronically prescribing medications and receiving refill requests from pharmacies
- Maintain patient records, including demographics, problems, procedures, medications, and allergies
- Receive allergy, drug-to-drug, and disease interaction alerts
- Check formulary and eligibility in real-time
- Request a patient's complete medication history from pharmacies
In addition, the ePrescribing component of NextGen EHR can be installed as a stand-alone solution with our practice management software, NextGen EPM.
This flexibility enables practices using NextGen EPM, to quickly integrate ePrescribing into their workflow and qualify for the Medicare incentive. More importantly, it provides an easy upgrade path to our full EHR, which will be mandatory for receiving economic stimulus incentives starting in 2011.
NextGen Healthcare is the only electronic health records vendor to receive SureScripts Platinum Solution Provider Status to date for our electronic prescribing solution.
