New NextGen Mobile v8.2.0 Features
Certified by Surescripts and the DEA, this release includes two important new features: ePrescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) and Secure Messaging.
- ePrescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) allows users to prescribe controlled substances through the NextGen Mobile application and supports adding a new EPCS, renewal of EPCS, and refills. Users will need to ensure they have the required permissions in the NextGen EHR for this feature to work on mobile.
- Secure Messaging updates will ensure secure messages are stored in the cloud and not the device for faster performance. An indicator has been added to show when a chat has been added to the chart in the EHR and read receipts of the message history will also be available.
To explore all new features available in NextGen Mobile v8.2.0, please review the NextGen Mobile Documentation and Release Notes that will be made available on Success Community upon release.
