NextGen UGM 2026 Preview: 7 Ways TempDev Is Helping Practices Work Smarter

NextGen UGM 2026 is almost here and TempDev couldn't be more excited to see you November 8–11 at the Gaylord Pacific Resort in San Diego.

We're packing our booth with some of our best consultants, seven of our favorite pre-built NextGen solutions, and some seriously good merch. If you've visited us before, you know the drill. If you haven't, come find out what we've been working on.

For nearly 20 years, we've helped healthcare organizations get more out of NextGen through custom development, workflow improvements, revenue cycle expertise, and practical solutions to everyday problems.

This year, we're highlighting seven solutions that address some of the most common challenges we see across healthcare organizations. Think of them as a preview of the conversations, demonstrations, and ideas waiting for you at Booth 100.

Come See TempDev at Booth 100

Let's get this out of the way first.

Where: Booth 100, NextGen UGM 2026
What: Live demonstrations, experienced NextGen consultants, pre-built template solutions, and a few swag surprises
Why: Because talking through your specific NextGen challenges beats reading a brochure every time

Stop by, and we'll walk you through the solutions we've developed to make everyday work easier for healthcare teams. Bring your toughest workflow problem, your reporting headache, or the feature you've been wondering how NextGen can support.

Our consultants have spent years helping organizations solve these problems, and we're always happy to talk through what's possible.

Better Workflows Start With Solving the Right Problems

Every healthcare organization has its own way of doing things, but after nearly two decades of working with NextGen, we've noticed that many practices struggle with surprisingly similar challenges.

Referrals that are difficult to track. Outstanding orders that require too much manual follow-up. Quality measures that are easier to report on after the fact than address during a visit. Tasks and documentation that pile up without a clear way to prioritize them.

These aren't necessarily problems that require an entirely new system. Often, they come down to how information is captured, how work moves between teams, and whether the right tools are available when they're needed.

That's where our pre-built template solutions come in.

Rather than starting from scratch for every client, we've developed solutions around common operational challenges, building on what we've learned through years of NextGen consulting and implementation work.

Here are seven we're especially excited to showcase at UGM 2026.

1. Quality Measures That Become Part of Everyday Care

Quality reporting is important, but identifying missed opportunities weeks or months after a patient visit doesn't do much to help the care team in the moment. The challenge is getting meaningful quality information in front of providers and staff while they still have an opportunity to act.

Our Quality Measures Dashboard helps practices identify and close care gaps at the point of care, bringing quality measures into the workflows clinicians already use. Instead of relying entirely on retrospective reporting, organizations can take a more proactive approach to quality performance. Stop by our booth, and we'll show you how we're helping practices make quality measures part of their everyday clinical workflows.

2. Referral Management That Actually Closes the Loop

Sending a referral is only the beginning. Between authorizations, scheduling, follow-up, consultation notes, and communicating results back to the referring provider, there are plenty of opportunities for referrals to get stuck. Many organizations still rely on a messy task Inbox, manual processes, or disconnected worklists to track what's happening after a referral is placed.

Our Referrals Management solution helps teams manage the referral process from request through completion, with better visibility into outstanding work and the next steps required. If your staff spends too much time tracking down referral statuses, come see what a more organized workflow could look like.

3. Order Management Without the Constant Follow-Up

Lab orders, imaging requests, diagnostic tests, and other clinical orders can create a considerable amount of work after they're placed. Someone needs to monitor outstanding orders, follow up on missing results, and make sure nothing gets overlooked. When that information is scattered across different areas of the EHR or unknown, even a straightforward process can become difficult to manage.

Our Orders Management solution gives teams a centralized view of outstanding orders, with tools to prioritize follow-ups and manage work through completion. The goal isn't simply to generate another report. It's to give staff a practical way to identify what needs attention and do something about it.

4. Vaccine Clinics Built for High-Volume Workflows

High-volume vaccine clinics come with their own operational challenges. When teams are moving through large numbers of patients, documentation, billing, and tracking need to be efficient. Even small amounts of unnecessary data entry can add up quickly.

Our Vaccine Clinic templates help simplify flu and COVID vaccination workflows, making it easier to manage documentation, billing, and tracking within NextGen. If your organization runs seasonal or high-volume vaccination programs, stop by and see how we've approached the workflow.

5. EHR Operations That Are Easier to Manage

Every practice has work that accumulates throughout the day.

Unsigned documents. Outstanding tasks. Chart preparation. Items waiting for someone to take the next step.

The problem isn't always that staff don't know how to do the work. Sometimes, it's that identifying everything that needs attention requires navigating multiple areas of the EHR.

Our EHR Operations Advisor helps bring outstanding work and daily priorities into one actionable workflow. It gives teams a clearer picture of what needs to be done, where bottlenecks may be developing, and how to prioritize their time. Come talk to us about what your team's daily task management looks like. There's often more room for improvement than organizations realize.

6. Enhanced Care Management With Better Coordination

Enhanced Care Management programs require ongoing coordination between providers, care managers, and other members of the care team. Managing outreach, care plans, documentation, and follow-up for patients with complex needs can become challenging when those activities aren't connected through a consistent workflow.

Our Enhanced Care Management solution helps organizations manage these responsibilities within NextGen, with tools designed to support care planning, outreach, and coordination. We'll be showcasing how organizations can simplify the administrative side of enhanced care management while giving their teams better visibility into the work they're doing.

7. Chronic Care Management Without the Administrative Headaches

Chronic Care Management programs offer an important opportunity to support patients between visits, but the operational requirements can be extensive. Enrollment, care planning, time tracking, documentation, and billing all need to work together. When those processes aren't well organized, administrative work can quickly take time away from patient care.

Our Chronic Care Management Template Suite helps practices manage the activities involved in running CCM programs within NextGen. Stop by the booth, and we'll show you how we're making these programs easier for healthcare teams to manage.

Need Something More Custom? We Do That, Too.

Our pre-built solutions are only part of what we do.

For nearly 20 years, TempDev has worked with healthcare organizations to customize NextGen around their clinical, operational, and financial needs. We've helped organizations redesign workflows, build custom templates, improve integrations, develop meaningful reporting, and identify opportunities to improve revenue cycle performance.

Sometimes that means building something entirely new. Other times, it means taking a closer look at functionality an organization already owns but isn't fully using.

What you can discuss with our NextGen consultants:

• Custom template development and workflow improvements

• NextGen upgrades, testing, and optimization

• Revenue cycle challenges, including denials, charge lag, and A/R performance

• Custom reporting and analytics

• Interfaces, interoperability, and Mirth Connect integrations

Whether your focus is clinical, financial, or technical, our team can help you identify what's working, what's not, and what it would take to close the gap.

What Questions Should You Bring to UGM?

UGM is a great opportunity to learn what's new in NextGen, connect with other users, and explore ideas for improving your organization.

The harder part often comes afterward, when it's time to decide which of those ideas will actually make a difference.

Before you attend, think about the two or three challenges creating the most friction for your team or read our guide on questions you should bring to NextGen UGM 2026.

Which workflows are taking more time than they should?
Look for processes that involve unnecessary steps, duplicate documentation, or manual follow-up.

What functionality do you already own but aren't fully using?
Not every improvement requires a new product. Sometimes the opportunity is in better configuration or more effective use of existing tools.

Where are things getting stuck?
Outstanding referrals, incomplete orders, unresolved tasks, and revenue cycle delays can all point to workflows that need attention.

What would make the biggest difference for your staff?
Consider where a better workflow, improved visibility, or more efficient documentation could have the greatest impact.

Bring those questions to Booth 100. We can talk through your environment, show you solutions we've already developed, and help you explore what's possible.

Let's Make NextGen Work Better Together

You may leave NextGen UGM 2026 with several new ideas, a few product announcements to explore, and a long list of things you'd like to improve.

We're here to help with the part that comes next.

Whether you're interested in one of our pre-built template solutions or need something designed specifically for your organization, we'd love to talk.
