Top 5 Reports Every Healthcare Practice Needs in NextGen EHR

Whether your goal is to improve patient care and outcomes, optimize business processes, improve resource allocation, or all of the above, data is the backbone of any healthcare practice. Have you been wanting to better grasp the number of missed appointments? Maybe you want to assess your claim lag time or other medical billing KPIs. For those using NextGen EHR, there is a wealth of data available at your fingertips, which is why you need to lean on the power of reports. You can access real-time, centralized data on your patients and practice, which can be a game-changer. NextGen has several built-in reports, and you can source custom reports that target the exact needs of your practice, which is where TempDev comes in. Every healthcare practice needs these 5 NextGen EHR reports for healthcare data analytics to help you get the most insight from the data you collect. 

1. Patient Tracking Reports

Purpose: With this report, you can track and analyze each of your patients through every portion of their healthcare visit, from check-in to check-out, to improve patient flow, patient satisfaction, and the billing process. 

TempDev created a NextGen EHR reporting dashboard that helps healthcare organizations and practices identify bottlenecks concerning patient flow. Track the minimum, maximum, and average times patients spend in your office, highlighting check-in and check-out times. Within these patient-tracking EHR reports, you can see what tasks were conducted within those time frames. For example, what is the average time to complete the appointment check-in process? If it is higher than anticipated, you can use that information to implement solutions, like a check-in kiosk. Perhaps long wait times contribute to lower patient satisfaction and reimbursement rates. Again, you can use that intel to adjust scheduling strategies. 

2. NextGen PAQ Audit Reports

Purpose: This NextGen EHR reporting audit ensures all physicians stay current so they don't fall behind on NextGen EHR PAQ items. 

The Provider Approval Queue (PAQ) Audit Report shows you, at a glance, how well your practice is managing the NextGen PAQ. This report lets you see the big picture concerning practice efficiency, highlighting your practice data and individual provider data. NextGen EHR PAQ items include labs, radiology, diagnostics, orders, HIE documents, and chart or document notes. Are any of these items routinely staying open for longer than desired? Are essential tasks falling through the cracks?

3. Clinical Audit Reports

Purpose: Identify and assess metrics about every NextGen EHR clinical encounter. 

From time of service and time of master document generation, to E&M codes or CPT, and diagnosis codes submitted, this clinical audit report is crucial for billing audits. This report supports healthcare data analytics by showing gaps, potential issues, and bottlenecks across coding, appointment, and documentation workflows. NextGen consulting experts highly recommend the NextGen Clinical Audit EHR Report. Within minutes, you can run an audit report to see how your practice, front desk employees, and providers perform. This clinical audit report goes hand-in-hand with the PAQ audit and task audit reports.

4. EHR Operations BI Dashboard

Purpose: Report and display critical metrics, such as radiology results, outstanding labs, PAQ items, appointments within a desired range, and more. 

When it comes to healthcare data analytics, you need to keep an eye on business metrics. The EHR Operations BI Dashboard provides insights and visualizations for NextGen EHR operations. This tool uses NextGen EHR reporting data, presenting it in a way that allows you to maximize the full potential of your EHR reports.

With this NextGen EHR reporting dashboard, you will be able to easily stay on top of your patients' open orders, including labs, radiology, immunizations, injections, referrals, and diagnostics. This data will provide you with the insights you need to ensure that everything a provider ordered is completed and has been billed.
