Patient Documents

Patient documents in NextGen® Enterprise EHR can be a medical or lab report, a referral form, a professional letter, or any other custom-designed form. You can generate new patient documents from previously created user-defined format documents in the Document Builder. When a patient document is generated, macros in format documents insert data from selected template fields. A patient document can be created locally or remotely on a remote workstation. The patient documents are attached to the applicable encounter in the patient's chart. The patient's chart may also contain documents created outside Document Builder. Third-party documents are imported through the NextGen® Interface Engine Document Import Agent. NextGen® Health Information Exchange (HIE) and Continuity-of-Care (CCD) documents are attached to the NextGen® HIE Documents Category of the Categories tab. After generating a new patient document, you can sign off on it in the Documents module or the Provider Approval Queue (PA

Database connectivity: Basically the same requirements as NextGen® Enterprise EHR with the following exception: If the database connection is lost and then restored, Document Queue should begin processing documents again once the connection is restored. This differs from NextGen® Enterprise EHR, which must be shut down and restarted if the connection is lost. Document Queue must run on the windows desktop as a user, the same as NextGen® Enterprise EHR. Document Queue must be shut down and restarted if universal preferences are changed, the same as NextGen® Enterprise EHR. NextGen Heal
