NextGen Mobile on the iPad

drIPADOver the past year I have been really interested in mobile technology. We have all seen how it changes our daily lives.  It's an awesome technology that will continue to evolve and get better and better.

Because I work strictly in the healthcare industry as do most of you, I have been following NextGen Healthcare with where they are taking their business and what's new and exciting for users that use the EMR and EPM system daily.  One of the areas of development that I am really interested in right now is the NextGen Mobile solution.  This is a website that is optimized for mobile browsers like the iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices, that allow you to access some of the NextGen EMR features.  I would love to play with this on my iPad and see how it works, what you can do and what you can't do. Currently none of our clients use this system so I haven't been able to play with it.

CPSP Template Set

Our team has just finished a template set for the CPSP (Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program) for a large multi-specialty group in Los Angeles. The CPSP program at our client's facility  will be using our template set for their live production environment.  The CPSP template is integrated smoothly into the current NextGen OBGYN templates and vise versa.  Many of the CPSP templates are built to record the patients initial, second trimester, and third trimester visits with the data being copied forward each visit.

The CPSP template set has been built with 16 medical record templates such as Family Planning Counseling, Group Class Visit, Individual Care Plan, Master Template, PFFQ (PERINATAL FOOD FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE), Postpartum, and Prenatal.  We also integrated the use of System Templates in order for the users to quickly and easily maintain the list of referral sources, instead of having to call us up to make those changes.

Master Template: Overall summery of patient's OB history, problems and allergies.

Orientation Template: Patient checklist of education and other handouts.

Prenatal Template: This is used as a assessment and reassessment tool. Also contains info for personal information, pregnancy care, nutritional assessment summary, economic resources, coping skills, housing, educational interests, PHQ-9 Questionaire, transportation, nutrition, DV screening, current health practices, dietry, and OB Education.

Postpartum Assessment: ICA intervention, anthropometric, psycho-social, EPDS, OB education, clinical - outcome of Pregnancy, health ed, nutrition.

ICP Template: This template covers in detail the first, second and thrid assessments - identified problems and risks, plus postpartum.

The Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program is a very complete template set that integrates perfectly into the NextGen system.  If you are interested in finding out more about this template set and/or our services, please contact us.

We appreciate the opportunity that we have been given to work with the CPSP team in LA.  Thanks for all your help!
