NextGen
NextGen^® is a unified suite of applications for the ambulatory healthcare enterprise which includes the NextGen practice management system (NextGen^epm), electronic medical records (NextGen^emr), and web-enabled functionality (NextGen^web).

The NextGen^epm system allows traditional practices to operate alone, as group practices, or as part of a healthcare network. Using an Integrated Delivery System (IDS) approach, NextGen^epm provides a common registration system, enterprise-wide appointment scheduling, referral tracking, clinical support, a custom report writer, and patient financial management based on a Managed Care model.

The NextGen^emr system is designed to improve patient care, increase revenues, lower costs, reduce risk, and improve overall patient satisfaction. NextGen EMR automatically creates documents and letters, manages prescriptions and clinical images, provides patient education, and exchanges data with other systems within, and external to, the enterprise. Setting the pace for electronic medical records, NextGen^emr links financial and clinical information, improves healthcare delivery, and eliminates paperwork for today's dynamic medical providers.

The efficiencies created by the use of the Internet have prompted the creation of NextGen^web. This web-enabled ASP (Application Service Provider) Model is another way the NextGen suite of products helps reduce costs, streamline procedures, and reduce network administration.
