NextGen Healthcare and Mirth Launch Enterprise Interoperability Platform
National Health Information Service Provider to Harmonize Data Across
Vendor Platforms and Care Communities
HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NextGen
Healthcare Information Systems, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of healthcare
information systems and connectivity solutions, and its sister company, Mirth,
LLC, a global leader in health information technology, announced
today the launch of NextGen® Share, a national Health
Information Service Provider (HISP) enabling clients to connect with
external providers using industry standards widely adopted by ONC 2014
Edition certified EHR products. NextGen Share equips providers with
Direct Secure Messaging capabilities for efficient coordination of care
and meeting Meaningful Use Stage 2 Transitions of Care objectives.
A nationwide network connecting clients and non-NextGen Healthcare
providers to support secure clinical data exchange, NextGen Share is the
first joint solution from NextGen Healthcare and Mirth since Quality
Systems, Inc., acquired Mirth Corporation in September of last year. It
combines key strengths of NextGen Healthcare and Mirth products to
create an interoperability solution that facilitates easy data exchange
among providers aimed to improve care coordination processes and
meet meaningful use (MU) requirements. NextGen Share will facilitate
safe, secure, accurate and quick exchange of clinical data and provider
referrals without leaving the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.
As a HISP, the solution provides secure connectivity between NextGen
Healthcare and non-NextGen Healthcare providers, a searchable provider
directory, and message translation between supported protocols.
Leveraging NextGen Share, clinical care information, C-CDAs, and
attachments including referral request letters, intake notes, and images
such as a photo taken of the patient's injury, can be transmitted
between peers, practices and health systems locally and nationally
across all technology platforms. Additionally, users can search to find
connected providers and organizations, compose and exchange a referral
with clinical documents, and count such transactions toward their MU
stage 2 reporting. The structured clinical information exchanged through
NextGen Share empowers healthcare organizations by providing actionable
data which can be discretely imported into the patient's record.
"Finding ways to breakdown walls to interoperability and data fluidity
is the catalyst that moves healthcare forward. As a result,
organizations require interoperability partners who understand the needs
of health care systems, patients and clinicians alike," said Michael
Lovett, executive vice president and general manager for NextGen
Healthcare. "Interoperability holds tremendous promise in the use of
data derived from patient care and our goal is to fulfill the vision of
using technology to provide the healthcare industry with an
unprecedented level of data exchange. By combining a robust electronic
health record solution with first-class interoperability tools, we have
developed the necessary tool to enable clients to easily communicate and
share important clinical information via a secure and integrated
messaging service with any provider. With increased competition and care
quality and reimbursement at stake, it is imperative that healthcare
organizations make the right choices in supportive technology and with
the launch of NextGen Share, we are pleased to be on the leading-edge of
innovation."
