Single-sign on solution to align Medical, Dental and Behavioral
Health Care for Tribal Health Community; Aide in Tribal Health Reporting
Needs
HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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 NextGenPractice
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."
