Federally Qualified Health Center Aims to Enable Better Outcomes by Harnessing Clinical Insights
NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN), a leading provider of innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, today announced that Morris Heights Health Center (MHHC), a leading New York-based Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), has selected the NextGen® Enterprise Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) solutions to better serve its rapidly growing community.
MHHC and its more than 120 healthcare providers deliver care and treatment to the most underserved populations throughout New York. MHHC provides primary, specialty, dental, behavioral health and social services across its health center locations. The multi-site health center chose NextGen Enterprise to easily exchange patient medical records and deliver comprehensive care to its 57,000-plus patients, while also gaining valuable data-driven insights to improve clinical decision-making. Such capabilities are critical to MHHC as the FQHC opens its newest health center in Brooklyn, New York, in summer 2022.
Mari G. Millet, MHHC president and chief executive officer, said, “We look forward to NextGen Healthcare’s partnership to help get the residents of the Bronx and beyond the care they need and deserve. We live and breathe giving health to this community; NextGen Healthcare and its solutions play an important role in measuring patient outcomes and quantifying the direct impact we’re making on our patients for the better.”
With plans to expand care services throughout New York City, MHHC cited integrated functionality plus action-oriented insights as key benefits of NextGen Healthcare’s solutions. “Our ability to deliver quality healthcare to patients extends when we have a partner that is on top of new and evolving trends in healthcare IT solutions,” said Lois J. Bookhardt-Murray, MD, MHHC chief medical officer. “We needed a solution that offers meaningful insights to support and sustain our growth. An added benefit of this fluid functionality and connectivity is that it streamlines processes for our staff and provides a better work/life balance for our doctors.”
“NextGen Healthcare’s vision is to enable better healthcare outcomes for all,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, chief growth & strategy officer for NextGen Healthcare. “We’re privileged to help FQHCs like Morris Heights Health Center provide optimal care as they expand to include more underserved New York communities.”
