Nextgen Healthcare Leads Movement To Help Health Centers Navigate Uds+ Reporting Requirements

REMOTE-FIRST COMPANY/PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions, today announced that it is at the forefront of supporting Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs) across the nation as reporting requirements from the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) evolve. Serving more than 400 FQHCs and integrated care centers nationwide, the company has passed HRSA’s synthetic data testing requirements and is now approved to support health centers as they navigate UDS+ reporting. NextGen Healthcare is currently working with its Cohort 1 beta clients—a group of health centers that volunteered to be early adopters while UDS+ compliance is still elective and will complete first test submissions by March 31, 2024. UDS+, an overhaul of HRSA’s longstanding Uniform Data System reporting methodology that is expected to become mandatory by 2025 or 2026, will eventually require that health centers report quality performance data on the individual patient level rather than submitting aggregated data at the population level. In addition to enabling better alignment of data across governmental and industry standards, this shift will help health centers identify which site-of-care interventions are most impactful so they can make data-supported decisions that meaningfully improve patient outcomes. “NextGen Healthcare is proud to have served as a trusted advisor for FQHCs and integrated care centers across the US for decades,” said David Sides, chief executive officer of NextGen Healthcare
