NextGen Healthcare Information Systems announced that it has carried out an agreement with Sinai
Medical Group to implement NextGen® EHR (Electronic Health Record) and NextGen Practice Management. Peter Ingram, VP, chief information officer for Sinai Health System said "We are dedicated to making improvements in the quality of the care we deliver, so ensuring that we had a partner that could fully support our efforts was imperative," added "Having a resource that we can depend on now to help us get to meaningful use, and in the future as regulations evolve, was another important factor in our decision." Ingram also said "We offer a broad range of specialties and services to a diverse population, so we need vendors that can understand our complex clinical and business needs. NextGen Healthcare's experience with organizations similar in size to ours and their long-standing reputation for being a leader in the industry were critical. Our physicians reviewed all of the competing vendors and agreed the NextGen technology was the easiest to use in documenting the care they provide."
NextGen EHR version 5.6 helps ensure complete, accurate documentation stored in a standard format. "Sinai Health System is taking the initiative to align with an organization that will support their needs now and in the increasingly complex healthcare environment ahead," said Scott Decker, president of NextGen Healthcare. "We are committed to providing comprehensive technology that will continually evolve to meet the standards and certifications for federal stimulus reimbursement programs and look forward to a longstanding partnership with Sinai."
