NextGen Integration and Automation
Our NextGen engagements usually combine integration with rationalization: build the interfaces the automation needs, and reduce the configuration surface that makes every change expensive.
What breaks today
Template sprawl
Hundreds of templates accumulated over years, most unused, none owned, all of which have to be considered during any change.
Custom configuration blocks upgrades
Accumulated customization makes version upgrades a project rather than a maintenance task.
Discrete data capture is inconsistent
The same clinical concept is captured in different fields by different departments, which defeats reporting.
Interface documentation is missing
Existing interfaces work, and nobody can say exactly what they carry or who owns them.
What we build
Scoped during the assessment, then delivered in one to three week increments against your real systems.
API and interface integration
Integration through NextGen’s available APIs and HL7 interfaces, with documentation produced as a deliverable.
Template inventory and consolidation
A full inventory with usage data, a consolidation plan, and named clinical owners for what remains.
Discrete data standardization
One agreed capture location per clinical concept, with migration for the historical divergence where it matters.
Interface documentation and monitoring
Every existing interface documented, monitored, and given an owner.
Workflow automation
Eligibility, referral, denial, and recall automation built on the standardized foundation.
What changes
Ranges reflect what comparable engagements have produced. Your baseline is measured during the assessment before anyone commits to a number.
- Template count reduced to a maintained and owned set
- Reporting that works because data lands in one place per concept
- Existing interfaces documented and monitored rather than assumed
- Upgrade path made less expensive by reducing customization surface
Systems this touches
Integration channel is chosen on verified capability in your environment, not on what is easiest to document.

Not sure this is the right workflow to start with? The $24,997 assessment exists to answer exactly that, and it frequently points somewhere other than where leadership expected.
Common Questions
Is template consolidation worth doing before automation?
Frequently yes, and we will tell you when. Automating on top of inconsistent discrete data capture produces automation that is wrong in ways nobody notices for months. Sequencing is part of the assessment output.
Talk it through with an engineer.
Tell us what this workflow costs you today and we will tell you honestly whether automating it is worth the engagement.
