Nextech is thrilled to have been listed as one of TrustRadius's Tech Cares top technology companies that have gone above and beyond to support clients in 2020 and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patients today have the option to be selective in their care, making it more important for dermatology practices to understand their needs, nurture the provider to patient relationship and foster engagement.

"Our electronic health records system, Nextech’s ophthalmology-specific electronic health record, IntelleChartPRO, recently released a completely integrated telemedicine solution that has drastically simplified our ability to connect remotely with patients. With this system, patients receive a link via text and/or email that does not require an additional application or software to be installed on the phone or computer. Simply click and go."

Nextech's Chief Medical Officer recently sat down with Ophthalmology Management to discuss how IntelleChartPRO, Nextech's Ophthalmology-specific EHR solution, is driving practice profitability and paving the way for new industry standards.

"The prospect of onboarding a new electronic medical record (EMR) can spark concern in even the most tech-savvy healthcare practices due to the size and scope of these projects. However, there is a way to take some of the worry out of an EMR initiative. Whether an ophthalmology practice is adopting the technology for the first time or upgrading to a new system, having a defined implementation strategy is key to success. Without one, a practice can see a drop in productivity, increased staff and physician frustration and patchy adoption—factors that can prevent an organization from reaping the full benefits of the system."

"Most dermatology practice managers already have a full plate of daily tasks, such as overseeing scheduling, patient registration, billing and collections functions. While these responsibilities alone are enough to make for a hectic week, many practice managers are now being asked to assume the additional responsibility of logistics for their organizations’ marketing programs."

"As January nears, healthcare organizations should consider how they will comply with the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for 2020. With the new year bringing increased performance thresholds and a renewed emphasis on interoperability and performance improvement, providers may be uncertain about how to approach compliance to ensure optimal outcomes.

"Relying on word-of-mouth to cultivate awareness is not enough to establish and build reputation among potential patients in today’s competitive healthcare marketplace. Patients are using various means to shop for and select their care providers, and it is helpful to have a marketing program that connects with people as they consider options. Since marketing traditionally has not been a priority for healthcare organizations, an ASC might not know where to begin as it looks to cost-effectively generate interest without overburdening staff."
