Local
technology and healthcare organizations work together to improve
patient care and operational efficiencies
Southampton, Pa. – November 8, 2010
– Tri-County Eye Physicians & Surgeons, PC today
announced that it earned a 2010 Best Practice Award from
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a leading
provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity
solutions headquartered in Horsham, Pa. Recipients were honored
at the NextGen Users Group Meeting (UGM) in Orlando, Fla.,
before an audience of more than 3,400 physicians, practice
administrators, hospital leaders and other healthcare professionals
from around the nation.
NextGen Healthcare’s Best Practice Awards program honors
three physician practices each year for their exemplary use
of NextGen® clinical, financial and connectivity solutions.
This year, winners leveraged NextGen® Ambulatory EHR,
NextGen® Practice Management and NextGen® Patient
Portal to transform their practices, improve patient care
and achieve significant return-on-investment.
”Implementation of NextGen Healthcare’s complete
software suite of electronic health records and practice management
software over the past two years has allowed our medical practice
to decrease overhead and increase revenue while improving
the quality of eye health care for our patients,” said
Richard B. Prince, MD, FACS, of Tri-County Eye Physicians
& Surgeons.
“It’s been a win-win situation
for both our patients and physicians alike,” added Prince.
“With the advent of Clinical Quality Measures as part
of the Meaningful Use stimulus incentive program for physicians,
(enacted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
for optional participation beginning in 2011), the NextGen
software platform will become even more critical for practices
wanting to stay compliant with clinical outcomes analysis.
It will also help us remain and ahead of the curve of ‘pay-for-performance’
profiles, which appear to be the next big paradigm in the
shifting landscape of medical reimbursement profiles.”
