3. “The tech on the first day was extremely helpful
and went above and beyond to help. The second
tech followed up after the weekend and ensured
our database was copied successfully. I am certain
their names are logged on our service request
but both of those gentlemen deserve a round
of applause.”

4. A Priority Level 1
matter is defined as :
!“The Software, Hosted System, or Hardware
is completely inoperative or unavailable,
or a core application, module, or feature
is unusable or not functioning at all, and
Client’s patient care or business operations
are significantly and adversely affected.”
5. High-level assistance.
Anytime, anywhere.
• For all NextGen Healthcare clients, software maintenance
service hours are 24 hours a day, seven days a week for
Priority 1 issues.
• All incidents are triaged to a Client Support Analyst located
within the client’s time zone.
• All clients have access to a sophisticated Incident Tracking
System to submit and track an incident.
At NextGen Healthcare, our efficient client support can mean
providing an answer to a problem before a call is even placed.
And with the Knowledge Exchange (KE), clients have self-service,
on-demand access to a searchable database of information
relevant to the NextGen®
application suite. Want to know more
about KE? See Page 6.

8. A peek
behind the
curtain.
So you run into an issue and you have no idea
What to do? It’s simple. Contact us, of course.
That’s why we’re here. But after you submit that
support incident what happens on our side?
Take a peek…
Scenario:
An incident is submitted by a client and auto-routed to a Subject
Matter Expert for that product or issue in the client’s time zone.
First level:
1. Incidents responded to by Tier 1 CSA
2. Standard call response within two hours
3. CSA works with client to resolve issue
4. Incident not closed until client permission received
Oftentimes, one call does the trick, with 50% of incidents closed
on first contact with the client. But what if that doesn’t do the
trick? Up the ladder it goes…

9. According to our latest metrics
compiled for non-urgent issues, 100% of
all callsreceived are answered
within two hours.
?Next level:
1. Incident is deemed a defect or enhancement request,
linked to a Problem Record
2. Problems categorized as defects or enhancements immediately
exposed to Known Issues or Enhancements page, or
Client Support Center
3. Incident remains open until issue is fixed with a new release
available as General Release
Clients can review the status of their issues via the Client Support Center
and receive continual updates by email throughout the life of the defect or
enhancement as it progresses through Development.

10. A specialty-specific support model
At NextGen Healthcare, Client Support teams are broken up specifically into Practice
Management, EHR, Interface, Licensing, and Tech Support. In addition to these high-level groups,
there are sub-groups under each product so the analyst is a subject matter expert in that particular
area of the product. This single-source contact is key when dealing with specialty providers.
Normal Client Support operating hours are Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM, no matter what
time zone the client is located in. But Client Support Analysts are always available on-call to handle
emergency calls, even after hours. After-hour telephone calls activate a paging system and are
routed to an after-hours Client Support Analyst. For maintenance services provided outside of
normal business hours for a non-Priority Level 1 matter, there is an additional fee.
Normal Client Support operating hours are
Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM,
but Client Support Analysts are
always available on-call.

13. Comprehensive online
resources.
A feature only available to NextGen Healthcare clients that separates us
from the competition is our robust Knowledge Exchange (KE) module.
It contains information resources relevant to NextGen®
Ambulatory EHR,
NextGen®
Practice Management, and other ancillary applications, and
is available on our Client Support Center. The same place clients directly
submit their incident requests. It’s a real difference maker that others
can’t match.

led to our satisfaction combined with our hard work
and NextGen’s great support. Together, NextGen
and I are able to accommodate all the different
practice styles that the physicians and audiologists
in our practice wish to use for patient care.”

15. Client Support is a 24/7/365 business. And with tens of thousands of users, there is always a need for
high-quality support. But even while satisfying clients today, NextGen Client Support has an eye on
tomorrow and a clear, concise vision of where it is evolving as the calendar pages turn. Client Support
is currently implementing a comprehensive account ownership program and exploring regional Client
Care models. These new concepts will enable closer relationships with our clients and partners.
NextGen Client Support is an integral part of the NextGen Healthcare EHR/PM/KBM
upgrade process. Some areas of consistent Client Support focus include:
• Ongoing client training
• Technical seminars
• Modular product webinars
• eLearning
• Annual user group meetings
• Continued education on ICD-10 and MU2
Constantly focused on your success.
