AthletiCo sought a solution that could grow over time to meet its organizational needs, while also providing necessary products and services to streamline processes, increase practice efficiencies and enhance the delivery of patient care. The agreement with NextGen Healthcare will provide AthletiCo with the tools required to meet its specialty-specific focus while also offering improved access to patient data and appointment scheduling, improved flexibility to handle high patient volumes, streamlined workflow and more comprehensive claims management capabilities.

“NextGen Healthcare’s platform is seamless, providing patient demographics, scheduling, clinical data and billing in one database with one login, making integration between clinical and administrative workflow much easier and reporting more comprehensive than through other systems with separate databases,” said Heather Franks, director of operations at AthletiCo. “Our clinicians were heavily involved in the selection process, and today are excited about the ease of use, functionality and integration of the NextGen system. We believe this will simplify training and accelerate user acceptance enabling AthletiCo to soon begin reaping the benefits of the NextGen system.”

“According to our staff, increased efficiency and time management are key outcome goals relating to our EHR and practice management system,” said Anne Bond, billing manager at AthletiCo.
