OPEN MINDS & NextGen Healthcare Form Platinum Partnership

Integrated care is a priority as behavior health care needs in the US continue to grow

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 7, 2020) — OPEN MINDS announced NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXGN) has become an OPEN MINDS Platinum Partner. NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of ambulatory-focused technology solutions, continues to empower the trend of behavioral health facilities adding physical medicine capabilities to diversify revenue streams and organizational sustainability through integrated care. One of the ways NextGen Healthcare and OPEN MINDS are driving this change is through the Integrated Care Online Community, a thought leadership resource that offers unique perspectives to executives and clinicians in organizations serving clients and patients with complex conditions and support needs.

“As the market continues to evolve, OPEN MINDS research has shown that specialty providers across the county are adding primary care for improved patient outcomes, and sustainability,” said Monica E. Oss, Chief Executive Officer of OPEN MINDS. “The goal of the Integrated Care Online community is to educate executives on the benefits of whole-person care and share best practices. NextGen Healthcare has proven success in advancing integrated care, and I’m pleased to partner with them to share new insights and information with providers.”

“Our partnership with OPEN MINDS is a conjoined effort to provide comprehensive care to behavioral health patients by integrating primary care with behavioral health services,” said Dr. Betty Rabinowitz, Chief Medical Officer for NextGen Healthcare. “By using an integrated ambulatory platform, practices can take a whole person approach which results in better health outcomes and cost savings.”

NextGen Healthcare expanded on their presence in the behavioral health market in May 2019 when they released content for CCBHCs. According to Mental Health America (MHA), an estimated 44 million adults are impacted, yet nearly 60% do not receive treatment in a given year.

As a Platinum Partner, NextGen Healthcare is a premier sponsor for all five of OPEN MINDS 2020-2021 Executive Institutes, an exclusive series of national executive management education events focused on the behavioral health and human service market, including:
