PMSAP accreditation demonstrates Company’s
adherence to higher standard of quality, privacy and security, and
creates trustworthy framework with providers
NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, LLC., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading
provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity
solutions, today announced it is amongst the first Healthcare
Information Technology (HIT) vendors to achieve full accreditation
with the Practice Management System Accreditation Program (PMSAP)
from the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission
(EHNAC).
EHNAC’s PMSAP accreditation serves as a third-party review and
provides an additional level of assurance to the provider community
during the evaluation process of PMS system vendors. Additionally,
the program was jointly developed with the Workgroup for Electronic
Data Interchange (WEDI) and provides a review of the PMS vendor
readiness to support and implement ICD-10 in 2015.
Through the consultative review process, EHNAC evaluated NextGen
Healthcare in areas of privacy, security, mandated standards and
operating rules, and key operational functions. Additionally, EHNAC
assessed the organization’s health information and oversight for
meeting privacy and security, HIPAA and ACA requirements, as well
as focused on technical performance, business processes and
resource management.
“Building trust in the healthcare community is of utmost
importance in today’s market, and there’s certainly no exception
amongst practice management system vendors,” said Lee Barrett,
executive director of EHNAC. “PMS leaders like NextGen Healthcare
demonstrate the type of high caliber of quality, protection and
assurances that the provider community is calling for through its
EHNAC PMS accreditation. We congratulate them on earning this
significant achievement.”

“Organizations that receive EHNAC accreditations improve
business processes, innovation, quality of service, and regulatory
compliance,” said Michael Lovett, executive vice president and
general manager for NextGen Healthcare. “As one of only two vendors
having achieved EHNAC PMS accreditation, we view this accreditation
as an essential benchmark in our commitment to providing our
clients with higher standards of quality. It underscores our
abilities in establishing a trustworthy framework with providers
and demonstrates that client and patient privacy is a top
priority.”
