Single-sign on solution to align Medical,
Dental and Behavioral Health Care for Tribal Health Community; Aide
in Tribal Health Reporting Needs
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, LLC., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading
provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity
solutions, announced today it has entered into an agreement with
Reno Sparks Tribal Health Center (RSTHC).
Having outgrown the capabilities of an end-of-life software
system, RSTHC, a tribally owned and operated clinic located on the
Reno-Sparks Indian Colony (RSIC), will deploy NextGen®
solutions, including NextGen® Ambulatory EHR, NextGen® Practice
Management and NextGen® Electronic Dental Record (EDR), to improve
organizational efficiencies, drive growth and comply with extensive
tribal health reporting requirements and regulatory requirements
mandated by healthcare reform.
RSTHC serves three Great Basin Tribes – the Paiute, the
Shoshone, and the Washo, providing essential services to more than
1,100 tribal members and approximately 7,000 Urban Indians.
Under the agreement, RSTHC will deploy NextGen Practice
Management to increase revenue through enhanced billing and charge
capture capabilities, and improved operational efficiency. NextGen
Ambulatory EHR and NextGen EDR will be used to integrate RSHC’s
clinical, scheduling, pharmacy, ophthalmology, behavioral health
and dental services to create a comprehensive medical management
platform.
As a tribal health center, RSTHC requires system capabilities
beyond the standard clinical and financial protocols to meet its
reporting requirements. NextGen® solutions provide RSTHC the
integrated reporting utilities necessary to support the variety of
documentation needed to satisfy federal and state regulations and
funding requirements.
Furthermore, RSTHC will leverage NextGen solutions to transition
its dental and behavioral health services to Electronic Health
Records (EHR) and will also look to the Company to help prepare for
Meaningful Use Stage 2 and the fast-approaching ICD-10
transition.
“Due to the inadequacies of our current software, we’ve had to
leverage four different systems offering limited and disjointed
reporting and little care coordination capabilities,” said Angie
Wilson, director, Reno Sparks Tribal Health Center. “In our
extensive search for another system, we found that NextGen
Healthcare offers the only solutions designed to not only meet, but
exceed the specific reporting requirements for our organization. We
are confident that NextGen Healthcare technology will help us
improve the quality of patient care we provide to our patient
population.”
Michael Lovett, executive vice president and general manager for
NextGen Healthcare, commented: “The requirement to shift to
value-based reimbursements and outcomes reporting is prompting
tribal health centers like Reno Sparks to re-visit their
operational strategies and evaluate current healthcare IT partners.
As a result, we are seeing an increase in organizations seeking to
replace disjointed, inadequate systems with our integrated
multi-product technology offering. This allows us to work with our
clients in supporting and addressing the preventive and treatment
needs of American Indian and Alaska Native patients and
communities, like RSTHC.”
