NextGen EHR is One of Only Two Products – and the Only EHR Vendor – to Receive Platinum Certification Status for E-Prescribing
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of ambulatory healthcare and connectivity solutions, announced its NextGen EHR (Electronic Health Record) Version 5.5.27 product has achieved Surescripts Platinum Solution Provider status. NextGen EHR is one of only two products and the only EHR vendor to receive this distinction, which recognizes the highest level of commitment to e-prescribing.
Surescripts Gold Solution Provider status is granted to vendors with software products that have gone beyond Surescripts baseline product certification to meet benchmarks that demonstrate a higher level of commitment to e-prescribing. Platinum Solution Provider status is granted to those companies that not only meet these benchmarks, but also take the initiative to become early adopters of next-generation network technology. This includes participating in a pilot project aimed at developing new approaches to further improve electronic prescribing.
“For physicians making an investment in the safety of their patients, the efficiency of their practice and the quality of their own clinical decision making, Platinum and Gold Solution Provider certification status helps them know which software vendors are meeting the highest standards for e-prescribing,” said JP Little and Rick Ratliff, co-CEOs of Surescripts. “We congratulate NextGen Healthcare on achieving advanced certification for their NextGen EHR Version 5.5.27 product in 2008.”
An ePrescribing & Medications Module is included as part of all NextGen EHR license purchases. Through the use of this module, users can automatically check prescriptions against a patient's medications and allergies before electronically transmitting them to a pharmacy. This helps hospitals and practices prevent incorrect dosing, drug-drug or drug-allergy reactions and other potential errors.
“We remain committed to developing the industry standard for e-prescribing and EHR,” said Patrick Cline, president of NextGen Healthcare. “We believe our Platinum Solution Provider status coupled with the fact we are the only EHR provider to achieve this distinction, serves as confirmation of our commitment and leadership position.”
