New features round out human services
offering in industry’s only comprehensive EHR platform to encompass
physical, dental and behavioral health
NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN), a leading provider of
innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, today
announced the newest release of its NextGen® Behavioral Health
Suite. Built upon the company’s award-winning NextGen® Enterprise
electronic health record (EHR) and practice management (PM) system,
the suite is the industry’s first platform to integrate
comprehensive physical, dental, behavioral health and human
services. The latest release offers tools that support the delivery
of foster care services. These services benefit over 672,000 youth
– most with complex health concerns – who are part of the U.S.
foster care system, according to federal statistics.
Additionally, NextGen Behavioral Health Suite now offers
state-specific reporting, allowing behavioral health providers in
states such as New York and Indiana to meet complex regulatory
requirements. The release comes on the heels of recent upgrades
that simplify caring for people with Intellectual &
Developmental Disorders (I/DD) and includes residential content
features.
“The enhancements to our behavioral health suite were developed
with our clients and the communities they serve in mind,” said
Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, chief growth & strategy officer for
NextGen Healthcare. “The addition of foster care capabilities
enables providers to expand care to some of the most vulnerable and
precious members of our society – our children. And our new
automated state-reporting capabilities enable providers to spend
more time delivering care and less time on regulatory
compliance.”
New features in the latest release will aid providers as they
work to build healthier communities:
- Demographic Details of Foster Parents and Children –
Enables foster care or adoption agencies to collect the demographic
details of foster and adoptive families and children.
- Initial Screening of Foster or Adoptive Parents –
Clinicians can document the initial screening of prospective foster
or adoptive parents.
- Home Interview of Foster or Adoptive Parents – Users can
collect in-depth interview details of prospective foster parents
and determine the foster placement preferences of foster
parents.
- Placement Dashboard of Foster Children – Providers can
view availability of foster families to assign children to, and
track/manage the location of each foster child within the foster
care and adoption services programs.
In addition to the human services enhancements, NextGen
Healthcare works in unison with its client partners to create
solutions tailored to their unique needs, including regulatory
reporting requirements.
“Through due diligence and thoughtful conversation, NextGen
Healthcare weaved through the complexities of New York State
legislation to create a tool that meets every requirement needed
for documentation, regulatory and reporting. This is vital to the
livelihood of our practices,” said Carl Coyle, chief executive
officer of Liberty Resources, a NextGen Healthcare client based in
Syracuse, NY.
