By GlobalDataNextGen Patient Portal is an online tool that offers patients secure communication with providers, while NextGen Population Health is a protocol-based communication solution that integrates with core NextGen solutions to track and enhance patient care.
NextGen EHR Connect is an interoperability package designed to enable NextGen Ambulatory EHR to exchange standards-based data with any Health Information Exchange (HIE), disease registry state designated entity, or public health entity in real time, within normal provider workflows.
AVH will also implement NextGen’s Emergency Department solution at Galion Community Hospital to help manage emergency department patients and increase work flow.
