At NextGen
Healthcare, we work to ensure our products are
effective across specialties, and we develop solutions
that meet the specific needs of each specialty.
Based on feedback we have received, listed
below are five important requirements of the pediatric
healthcare community and the solutions we provide
to address them. |

|
You want to fully document pediatric
patient encounters
You want to document patient encounters electronically,
but it must be within your workflow, using
pediatric content. General templates are unacceptable. |
|
|
|
| |
|
NextGen’s Knowledge Base Model
for Pediatrics
NextGen’s Knowledge Base Model for Pediatrics
is a comprehensive and extremely flexible
set of templates, documents and configuration
settings that addresses the needs of pediatricians
and family physicians caring for children.
The templates contain the content and context
you see in your practice. You won’t
see adult-onset diseases in this Knowledge
Base Model. You won’t see adult weight
charts or mammography screenings. You will
see growth charts, BMI automatically calculated
and charted, family modules, immunization
schedules and records, anticipatory guidance,
pediatric dosing, and much more. You will
see the things you see in your practice on
a daily basis. The results will be comprehensive,
discrete, searchable data that will be the
basis of reports, documents, coding, billing,
and much more.
Within the templates, triggers maximize efficiency
by opening appropriate picklists, generating
alerts, or adjusting the workflow –
all customized for caring for children. And
with an open architecture, the flexible templates
can easily be set up to exactly suit your
preferences, tendencies, and methods. |

You want increased patient safety
The medical safety of the children you see
is a high priority for you. You want the best
support, the latest information, and the most
stringent checks. |

NextGen EMR’s clinical support
features
NextGen EMR is equipped with allergy and medication
modules that automatically cross-check for
reactions and contraindications to prescribed
medications, reducing potential for medication
errors or adverse drug events. Printed medication
descriptions and instructions and other patient
education increase patient comprehension and
encourage compliance.
Weight-based pediatric dosing parameters provide
another level of protection, and anticipatory
guidelines and auto-alerts provide critical
reminders and warnings.
Also part of the workflow, you will see growth
charts, decision support, immunization schedules,
and patient education, to ensure important
milestones are met and patients receive the
best, most informed care possible. |

You need customized/remote access
for your staff
Physicians need full access to patient charts
from anywhere, including home or the hospital.
Nurses may need access at the same time for
additional documentation or order fulfillment.
Your front office needs the same chart for
appointments or billing. You need to keep
staff access to each portion of information
controlled and limited. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
NextGen’s user roles and secure
access
NextGen allows your system administrator to
create specific user roles and access levels.
Nurses will see charts but not financial reports.
The front office will see demographic and
insurance information but not prescriptions,
as you determine. Your colleagues can get
access to cover your patients. Information
is controlled and secure and your processes
attain HIPAA compliance.
NextGen’s EMR and EPM are also accessible
remotely via browser through secure, virtual
private networks and terminal services. You
can get to your data anytime, anywhere, and
make the right decisions based on the most
complete information. |

You need strong communication capabilities
You know communication is key to providing
efficient, high quality care and keeping operations
smooth, effective, and profitable. |

WorkLog, Workflow, and NextMD
NextGen Healthcare recognizes the power of
communication in healthcare. Be it verbal
or written, good communication affords better
medical decision-making, higher patient compliance,
and faster, more accurate care.
To that end, NextGen centers many of its features
around the idea of streamlined communications
and education. The standard telephone communication
template includes individual health maintenance
alerts and integrates with WorkLog Manager,
where tasks such as prescription refill orders
can be assigned to other staff members for
completion.
NextGen EMR’s Workflow provides a user
an overall glance of his/her assigned tasks
or requests from others, as well as personal
e-mail integrated with Microsoft Outlook.
And NextMD, a secure internet portal, is a
pure patient-provider communication tool.
Through NextMD, patients can register for
the practice, request prescription refills,
complete forms or surveys, optain patient
education or instructions, schedule appointments,
and complete an e-visit and e-consultation.
These e-encounters can lead to billable events
as this form of medical care gains greater
acceptance by payers and patients. |

You need easy prescription management
Prescriptions can take a lot of time for your
practice. You have to research medications.
You have to write scripts. Patients sometimes
lose them. You get refill requests from patients.
You get calls from pharmacies. How can you
manage this and become efficient? |

NextGen EMR’s Rx features
With a complete electronic medical records
system, you are no longer writing prescriptions.
With a couple of clicks, you have checked
the patient’s medication history, scanned
formularies, made your choice with or without
descriptions and decision support, checked
for drug and allergy interactions, considered
a generic, routed the script to either the
printer for the patient or straight to the
patient’s pharmacy, and print instructions
for the patient. And of course it is all documented
in the patient’s chart.
No more writing, no more securing prescription
pads, no more lost prescriptions, a reduction
of potential medication errors, fewer calls,
and happier patients leads to great benefits
and exemplary patient care and satisfaction. |
