5 Secrets of Smart EHR Buyers

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.
