NextGen Healthcare Selected by Spectrum Healthcare to Help Address Shortage of Primary and Behavioral Health Professionals

Technology Investments to Support Leading Arizona-based Nonprofit’s Delivery of Whole-Person Care

REMOTE-FIRST COMPANY/PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Working to address Arizona’s shortage of primary and behavioral health resources, Spectrum Healthcare, one of the state’s largest nonprofit healthcare providers, has selected NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of cloud-based technology solutions, to support its delivery of whole-person care.

According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, 82 areas in the state are medically underserved. NAMI Arizona, an affiliate of The National Alliance on Mental Illness, reports that more than 2.8 million Arizona residents live in a community with a shortage of mental health professionals.

Spectrum’s driving mission is to meet these needs by providing integrated mind-body care for patients of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to offering in-person services at its seven locations across Arizona, Spectrum offers both telehealth and in-home services. The growth-minded organization also operates mobile crisis teams in portions of the state and partners with local school systems to provide on-campus student care.

“For nearly six decades we have been dedicated to bringing vital services to our communities, and ensuring accessible, whole-person care for our communities,” said April Rhodes, chief executive officer, Spectrum Healthcare. “We chose NextGen Healthcare as our partner because of our shared vision for using innovative technology solutions to elevate healthcare delivery and address Arizona’s shortage of healthcare providers.”

“Spectrum Healthcare is meeting a tremendous need in their communities and NextGen Healthcare is honored to support their life-changing work,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, president and chief operating officer, NextGen Healthcare. “Together, we will make a lasting impact throughout the state by creating greater access to care.”

NextGen® Enterprise electronic health record (EHR), NextGen Enterprise practice management (PM), NextGen® Population Health Solutions, NextGen® Mobile, NextGen® Self-Scheduling powered by Luma, and the NextGen® Behavioral Health Suite are among the selected solutions that will boost interoperability and optimize clinical and financial performance across Spectrum’s state-wide sites of care.
