NextGen Healthcare and Kno2 Team Up to Advance Healthcare Interoperability Nationwide

New Collaboration Boosts Data Exchange for 100,000+ Providers Across Diverse Specialties

BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, today announced it is joining forces with Kno2, the nation's largest healthcare communication network and federally designated Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN), to advance interoperability for healthcare organizations across the country.

NextGen Healthcare has been a global leader in interoperability for over a decade, enabling ambulatory healthcare providers through its integrated EHR solutions and connecting the global healthcare IT ecosystem with Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare, the world's leading healthcare integration engine. NextGen Healthcare has also been leading from the front on interoperability efforts with standards development, open-source contributions, establishment of national networks, and broad support for FHIR. In the United States, a large percentage of all public health information exchanges are still powered by solutions from NextGen Healthcare.

“Interoperability is the lynchpin of successful healthcare delivery,” said Srinivas (Sri) Velamoor, president and chief operating officer, NextGen Healthcare. “We are proud to partner with the industry-leading QHIN to help our clients achieve seamless data exchange, enabling better healthcare outcomes in communities nationwide.”

Named one of the “50 Most Promising Healthcare Solution Providers” by CIOReview and a recipient of the Microsoft Health Innovation Award, Boise-based Kno2 enables seamless exchange of patient information between patients, providers, payers and IT vendors. Kno2 recently pledged to become a CMS Aligned Network by December 31, 2025, reaffirming its role as a leader in the healthtech ecosystem.

The new integration with NextGen Healthcare positions more than 100,000 providers representing a wide range of specialties to participate in the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), a national initiative designed to reduce friction by standardizing and streamlining health information exchange. Through Kno2's comprehensive Communication API, NextGen Healthcare’s clients will gain access to the most expansive healthcare communication network in the industry.

"NextGen Healthcare's commitment to advancing ambulatory care perfectly aligns with our mission to enable frictionless, secure data flow across the entire healthcare ecosystem," said Therasa Bell, president and co-founder, Kno2. "Together, we're putting comprehensive clinical information directly into the hands of providers caring for millions of patients daily."
