Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians Reimagines Patient, Staff, and Provider Experience With Integrated Solutions

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, has been selected as a healthcare technology partner by Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians. A range of solutions from NextGen Healthcare will optimize clinical, practice management, and revenue cycle workflows, creating a seamless NextGen® Closed Loop™ experience that improves the provider, staff, and patient journeys.

Named the #1 physician practice for ENT care in Ohio by Castle Connolly and recognized as a top 5 physician otolaryngology practice nationwide, Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians’ team includes 33 physicians, 22 doctors of audiology, and other advanced providers. Specialties include oral pathology and neuro ophthalmology, in addition to ENT and allergy services. The practice will replace bolt-on solutions from different vendors with integrated offerings from NextGen Healthcare that work together to address bottlenecks, minimize duplicate work, and achieve greater efficiency.

NextGen® Enterprise EHR (electronic health record) and NextGen® Enterprise PM (practice management) will boost visibility across 11 sites of care, while NextGen® Insights Solutions will inform decision-making with data-driven analytics and insights. NextGen® Mobile will support work-life balance by empowering providers to access the EHR from their mobile devices and AI-driven ambient listening solution NextGen® Ambient Assist will save them up to 2.5 hours of documentation time per day by delivering SOAP notes directly into the EHR.

Patients will gain a better bill pay experience with NextGen® Pay powered by InstaMed, which will also simplify financial processes for staff with real-time automated payment batching and end-to-end payment processing. The patient experience will be enhanced with NextGen® Self-Scheduling powered by Luma and NextGen® Patient Engage powered by Luma, which allows patients to schedule appointments and complete pre-visit intake forms from their personal devices. NextGen Virtual Visits™ will expand access to care by facilitating telehealth appointments.
