In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, mobility isn't just a luxury—it’s a necessity. When using NextGen Office from your mobile device, healthcare providers can stay connected, make informed decisions on the fly, and provide efficient care no matter where they are. Here’s how to get the most out of your NextGen Office tools from your mobile device.

Why Mobile EHR Access Matters

 

1. Real-Time Data Access:
NextGen Office enables providers to retrieve patient data instantly, giving them the critical insights they need without delay.

2. Enhanced Decision-Making:
Having access to updated patient information enhances the quality and speed of clinical decisions, which directly supports better patient outcomes.

3. Improved Care Coordination:
Mobile access ensures that all care team members are aligned and informed, creating a streamlined communication workflow across teams and specialties.

 

Getting Started: Mobile Device Setup

 

While the desktop version of NextGen Office offers full functionality, the mobile version provides key features tailored for efficiency on smaller screens. Here are some practical tips:

  • Switching from the mobile version to the desktop version (using google chrome app on iPhone)

  • Switching between Views: If layouts appear off on your mobile device, rotate your phone to switch between portrait and landscape modes for better usability.

  • Create a Home Screen Shortcut: Set up a direct shortcut on your mobile home screen to open NextGen Office quickly, just like a native app.

 

E-Rx Workflow on the Go

 

One of the most powerful mobile capabilities is the E-Rx (electronic prescribing) workflow. From anywhere, providers can:

  • Access patient medication history

  • Renew or initiate prescriptions

  • Verify drug interactions

  • Manage pharmacies and dosage instructions

This mobility means prescriptions can be handled in real-time—whether you're in a clinic, on the move, or working remotely.

 

Recommended Mobile EHR Functions

 

NextGen Office's mobile interface supports several crucial functions to keep providers productive:

  • Tasks and Messages: View and manage administrative or clinical tasks and internal communications to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Review Encounters and Documents: Read patient visit notes, attach documents, and ensure all medical information is up to date.

  • Order Results: Access lab or imaging results to review diagnostics and determine next steps without needing to log in from a desktop.

  • E-Visits: Support remote care delivery by conducting virtual visits and responding to patient concerns directly through the mobile interface.

 

Final Thoughts

 

By leveraging the mobile features of the cloud-based EHR, NextGen Office, healthcare professionals can enhance their flexibility, responsiveness, and overall patient care quality. Whether reviewing records between appointments or sending e-prescriptions on the go, NextGen Office empowers clinicians to stay ahead—anytime, anywhere.
