Enhancements Come as Company Hits 3 Million
Telehealth Visits Milestone
NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN), a leading provider of
innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, today
announced the addition of increased functionality to NextGen
Virtual Visits™, allowing practices and patients to participate in
group virtual visits and invite additional stakeholders to
telehealth appointments. These new features are seamlessly
integrated into the NextGen® Enterprise Electronic Health Record
(EHR), benefitting providers, patients and others vested in their
care. Telehealth remains in demand, as illustrated last month when
NextGen Healthcare marked 3 million virtual visits enabled since
the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Virtual visits have created unprecedented access to care,
allowing patients to connect with providers they know and trust
regardless of circumstances,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, chief
growth and strategy officer at NextGen Healthcare. “The expansion
of our telehealth offering to include the entire care team further
enhances our integrated offering and advances whole-person care. As
we mark the achievement of 3 million virtual visits enabled with
our solutions, we pledge to continue to advance technology in ways
that provide meaningful impact to the communities we serve.”
NextGen Healthcare’s guest visits capability promotes
whole-person health by enabling team-based care in which
specialists or other care providers can consult and collaborate in
one convenient virtual appointment. Providers benefit from the
ability to share documents, screen share and chat. Patients can
also include family members or caregivers in the visit on the
secure EHR platform.
The group visits feature enables providers to offer behavioral
health group sessions, peer support meetings, preventive care
classes and more. This functionality is particularly useful to
NextGen Healthcare behavioral health providers and patients, with
this specialty recording the most telehealth visits this year.
“The use of NextGen Virtual Visits has been a great success,”
said Jeff Schoondyke, owner of Karing Hearts Cardiology, a NextGen
Healthcare client based in Johnson City, Tenn. “While some
cardiology appointments necessitate in-person care, virtual visits
allow us to keep a regular appointment cadence, and the addition of
guest visits presents a much-needed opportunity to include family
members in the care conversation.”

further enhance the virtual care experience, providers are invited
to add Patient Self-Scheduling and Remote Patient Monitoring.
