NextGen Healthcare is excited to announce that in its commitment to interoperability, it will apply to become a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) under the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). NextGen Healthcare is the first ambulatory-focused solutions provider to announce its intention to become a QHIN.
Once accepted by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), this designation will enable NextGen Healthcare to participate in a network of organizations that work together on a national scale to share clinical data and drive interoperability.
“Interoperability is the key to whole person health, and NextGen Healthcare is already a leader in facilitating the open exchange of data,” said David Sides, president, and chief executive officer of NextGen Healthcare. “With the infrastructure already in place, applying to become a QHIN is the next logical step and aligns with our mission of empowering every member of the care continuum with the data necessary to make the best decisions possible.”
