Advanced Heart Group (AHG), a group of cardiology practices in the US, has selected NextGen Healthcare to provide its technological solutions for improving patient experience and increasing overall operational efficiency.
As part of this partnership, NextGen will supply its Enterprise electronic health record (EHR) and Enterprise practice management (PM) solutions.
Furthermore, the company will introduce its PXP Portal to enhance the patient experience and NextGen Ambient Assist to alleviate the documentation workload for healthcare providers.
AHG will leverage the NextGen PXP Portal platform to empower its patients by providing a secure means to review visit summaries, access lab results, and request medication refills from the comfort of their homes.
It will further help in enhancing patients’ understanding and management of their healthcare journey.
NextGen Ambient Assist, which is expected to benefit both providers and patients, is an AI-powered ambient listening technology.
It will reduce providers’ daily documentation time by up to two hours, allowing them to dedicate more attention to patients during their exams.
AHG president and interventional cardiologist Ripple Doshi said: “NextGen Healthcare’s innovative solutions such as NextGen Ambient Assist align with our goal of bringing the very best care and technology to our communities.
“The professional service and knowledgeable support we have experienced throughout the implementation process have been impressive and have established a strong foundation for our future success.”
The investments in the latest technologies follow AHG's collaboration with Heart & Vascular Partners (HVP), a management services organisation based in Illinois, in 2023.
HVP focuses on supporting independent cardiology and vascular practices across the US, aiding healthcare organisations in scaling their operations while prioritising clinical autonomy.
NextGen Healthcare CEO David Sides said: “AHG’s partnership with HVP is one recent example of the organisation’s future-focused approach to care delivery.
“Cardiology care is a critical area within healthcare, and we are firmly committed to supporting this segment with advanced technology. AHG demonstrates the importance of being nimble and welcoming change while staying rooted to organisational mission and values.”
