NextGen Healthcare First to Achieve EHNAC Practice Management System Accreditation
PMSAP accreditation demonstrates Company's adherence to higher
standard of quality, privacy and security, and creates trustworthy
framework with providers
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, today announced it is
amongst the first Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) vendors to
achieve full accreditation with the Practice Management System
Accreditation Program (PMSAP) from the Electronic
Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC).
EHNAC's PMSAP accreditation serves as a third-party review and provides
an additional level of assurance to the provider community during the
evaluation process of PMS system vendors. Additionally, the program was
jointly developed with the Workgroup
for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) and provides a review of the PMS
vendor readiness to support and implement ICD-10 in 2015.
Through the consultative review process, EHNAC evaluated NextGen
Healthcare in areas of privacy, security, mandated standards and
operating rules, and key operational functions. Additionally, EHNAC
assessed the organization's health information and oversight for meeting
privacy and security, HIPAA and ACA requirements, as well as focused on
technical performance, business processes and resource management.
"Building trust in the healthcare community is of utmost importance in
today's market, and there's certainly no exception amongst practice
management system vendors," said Lee Barrett, executive director of
EHNAC. "PMS leaders like NextGen Healthcare demonstrate the type of high
caliber of quality, protection and assurances that the provider
community is calling for through its EHNAC PMS accreditation. We
congratulate them on earning this significant achievement."
