Why more ophthalmic medicine practices choose NextGen Healthcare solutions.
5 Secrets of Smart EHR Buyers

in designing the EHR to
comprehensively cover all
my needs, ultimately resulting
in quick, efficient patient care.” Robert W. Bentley, MD EyeHealth Northwest Client since 2010

5With so much at stake for your ophthalmic medicine
practice in today’s changing and complex healthcare
landscape, selecting the right electronic health record (EHR) solution is critical. That selection
process, however, can quickly become overwhelming.
It doesn’t have to be. Position your practice for ongoing success by making sure your technology
partner meets the following five essential criteria.
secrets
1Find an integrated, single database solution with streamlined reporting and a simplified infrastructure.
Does your EHR vendor deliver a truly integrated solution?
The NextGen® ambulatory product suite is an integrated system that streamlines patient care with standardized, real-time clinical and administrative workflow throughout a practice or group. Its integrated EHR and practice management solution
leverages a single database on a single server. That’s why our integrated system works seamlessly,
as a cohesive whole, for the best possible user experience and results.
Many other vendors employ an interfaced solution, which strings together different products
that reside on separate databases and separate servers. Why does this make a difference? An integrated solution enables combined reporting of administrative and clinical data because both data categories reside on the same database. You can also avoid
issues resulting from incompatible technology. Data mapping issues are likewise eliminated since
no mapping is required with a single database. Plus, interface maintenance costs are eliminated
when interfaces are removed.
When healthcare application products work together, are built by a common engineering team
using a common application infrastructure, and are based on a single, common database —like
the NextGen® system—Gartner refers to them as “truly integrated.”
According to Gartner, truly integrated applications almost always work
together better than interfaced applications.1 Why risk your practice
and your future on an interfaced solution?

2 Partner with a technology provider that has a strong, stable, proven market position.
