NextGen gets nod from Illinois nonprofit

Illinois-based nonprofit health organization Aunt Martha's Youth Service Center will deploy NextGen EHR, NextGen Practice Management and electronic dental records from Quality Systems.

The integrated NextGen platform will be implemented immediately across Aunt Martha’s enterprise, with the goal of creating a complete social service and healthcare record for all patients, according to NextGen, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems.

Through its 17 community health centers, Aunt Martha's provides a full range of primary medical, dental and behavioral health services to more than 80,000 individual clients each year in suburban Chicago and central and western Illinois, according to the Horsham, Pa.-based NextGen.

All clinical values are captured in NextGen EHR as discrete data elements to simplify grant and outcomes reporting so that Aunt Martha's can compile the necessary data for participation in both regional and national health information exchange initiatives, NextGen stated.
