2. “On average, we see about 10-12 new
patients a day. NextPen saves me 10-15
minutes per patient, or one and a half
to two hours a day!
”

3. In just a few simple steps, NextPen(r) Solutions captures information, turns it into structured data, and
flows the date into the correct fields for the correct patients in your NextGen(r) Ambulatory EHR.
So how does it work?
• The tiny camera at the tip of this
groundbreaking pen tracks NextPen®
digital pen’s position on a paper form
and records every stroke.
• Turn information into structured data when
the pen is placed in its USB docking station
to transfer the captured “digital ink” for
immediate conversion to structured data.
• Once approved, NextPen Write automatically
flows the structured data into the NextGen
Ambulatory EHR and Practice Management system.
• Move, send, or delete multiple forms
at the same time
• Filter forms by provider and location
• Use “history view” to see every form
filled out for a patient
• Automatically delete forms and
auto-validate image-only forms
• Get an exact match between your
printed form and your “ink view”
• Use visual indicators to see which
forms have ink

7. NextPen
Solutions are
secure.
Even if your NextPen digital pen is
lost or stolen, unauthorized users
cannot access its secure data.
NextPen digital pens will not transfer data to any
PC that does not first provide the preconfigured
password. Without it, the pen is unreadable.
NextPen digital pen uses a tiny camera to
recognize a unique, secure dot pattern on the
background of every form printed by the system.
The pattern contains a unique identifier that the
pens decode to match the form to the appropriate
patient record in the EHR. This ensures that all
patient data goes directly and automatically to the
correct record. Common color laser printers can easily
print these patterns on ordinary copy paper, even
though each pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.

8. As the healthcare market evolves — particularly as a result of quality
initiatives and the demands for community data sharing — we can
help ensure that your technology investment is continually relevant
and adjusts to your ever-changing needs.
The rich, comprehensive NextGen Healthcare portfolio — including a
robust, intergrated EHR and practice management solution — offers
you the freedom from searching for multiple vendors to fulfill your
growing needs, and rewards you with peace of mind.
Learn how you can increase productivity,
accelerate workflow, and improve your bottom
line using NextPen Solutions along with other
innovative tools from NextGen Healthcare.
