With interoperability as the key driver of collaborative care, NextGen Healthcare with its sister company, Mirth, a global leader
in health information technology, has launched NextGen® Share, a national HISP that enables physicians to send encrypted
health information directly to known, trusted recipients over the Internet. As a HISP, NextGen Share provides secure connectivity
between NextGen Healthcare and non-NextGen Healthcare providers. It includes a searchable provider directory and message
translation be-tween supported formats. Providers can exchange clinical data files such as Consolidated-Clinical Document
Architecture (C-CDA) files and attachments, referral request letters, intake notes, images, and more!
Here are five good reasons to “get connected” with NextGen Share
1.Easily and securely exchange data (i.e. C-CDAs, NextGen® Ambulatory EHR generated documents, and more) with other NextGen Healthcare providers and non-NextGen Healthcare providers by simply search-ing and discovering the right provider
2.Dramatically improve referral generation and reduce the need to fax documents
3.Satisfy MU2 core measure #15, Transitions of Care
4.Onboarding is simple. Once a NextGen Healthcare client registers on the NextGen Share portal, you’ll complete the install and be up and running in minutes
5.It’s FREE! No cost to purchase, maintain, or install. Plus, no per-transaction fees. NextGen Share is available as part of the PACIS/ NextGen Ambulatory EHR and is covered under clients’ current maintenance contract.
