Automating Background Processes
The NextGen® Background Business Processor assists you in scheduling packages (tasks that require manual execution) for automatic completion. For example, you can create a package that automatically generates and prints the Daily Balance report at the end of each day. You can configure the NextGen® Background Business Processor to send a notification email after it completes an automated NextGen® Background Business Processor process. You can automate the following NextGen® Enterprise PM processes:
- Reports
- Statements
- Billing encounters
- Claims generation
- Collection and Recall letter generation
- Directory Import
- Stored procedures
- Person merge processing
- RTS eligibility and claim status requests
- RTS eligibility responses
In addition, NextGen® Background Business Processor can run NextGen® Enterprise EHR and NextGen® Enterprise PM memorized reports.
NextGen® Background Business Processor consists of the following main components:
- The BBP Manager allows you to create or schedule jobs and packages, stores jobs and packages you configure, and control the NextGen® Background Business Processor Engine Service.
- In the background, the NextGen® Background Business Processor Engine Service regularly queries the NextGen database to execute scheduled packages by using the NextGen Report Server or NextGen® Enterprise PM, if NextGen® Enterprise PM is licensed.
