Business Wire carried this interesting press release regarding NextGen’s continued success in the CHC / FQHC market. While this blog posting might read like an all out commercial for NextGen, I am sincerely impressed with NextGen’s ability to meet the needs of CHCs.

• Out of the box UDS reports, which gather the data directly from the EHR and EPM.
• An open data structure allows for query data to generate reports for grants and other sources of funding, critical for CHCs.
• The ability to customize templates to meet the specific needs of the patient population (which vary much more on the lower end of our country’s socio-economic spectrum) and gather custom data elements needed for grants.
• The flexibility of EPM to meet odd billing requirements oftentimes required by public payers.
