NextGen Healthcare entered into an agreement with Rockingham Memorial Hospital for the deployment of NextGen CHS , NextGen EHR, NextGen EPM and NextGen ICS

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 that it has entered into an agreement with Rockingham Memorial Hospital, an independent community hospital that serves a seven-county area in Virginia, for the deployment of NextGen CHS (Community Health Solution), NextGen EHR (Electronic Health Record), NextGen EPM (Enterprise Practice Management) and NextGen ICS (Image Control System).

NextGen technology will be implemented across the entire Rockingham Memorial ambulatory enterprise. The first phase – which includes the implementation of NextGen EPM – will start in September 2009, with subsequent implementations of NextGen CHS and NextGen EHR scheduled for early 2010.

“Rockingham Memorial's ambulatory enterprise continues to experience significant growth, so finding technology to meet our current and future operational needs was critical,” said Mike Rozmus, CIO and vice president of information services for Rockingham Memorial Hospital. “Also, with economic incentives becoming available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, we need an interoperability platform that can facilitate clinical data exchange across our network of affiliated practices. A real selling point for NextGen CHS was that it will enable all physicians across our enterprise to share clinical data, regardless of whether they are currently using an EHR.”
