Who Is NextGen Version 8 For?

Whether you’re a growing practice or a mature network managing high patient volume, DAS Health ensures your upgrade is efficient, secure, and strategic. 

A Fully Managed Upgrade Experience 

With DAS Health’s NextGen Enterprise Upgrade Services, we take a proactive, structured approach to every aspect of the upgrade process. Our team provides comprehensive support, ensuring that your system is fully prepared, your staff is well-trained, and your workflow remains uninterrupted. 

Project Management & Strategy: A Roadmap for Success 

A successful system upgrade starts with a well-defined strategy. Our dedicated lead consultant works with your practice from start to finish, ensuring that every detail is carefully planned and executed. We develop custom project plans, including detailed testing, training, and cutover strategies, tailored specifically to your practice’s needs. 

One of the most critical aspects of an upgrade is coordination with vendors and stakeholders. We work directly with NextGen and third-party vendors to manage technical requirements, align timelines, and ensure seamless integration. Our expertise in specialty-specific planning allows us to develop documentation and workflows that align with the unique needs of different medical specialties. 

Ensuring Technical Readiness & System Compatibility 

Technical preparation is a crucial part of any NextGen Enterprise upgrade. Before transitioning to Version 8, our team performs a comprehensive system assessment to ensure that your infrastructure is fully compatible. We evaluate server and database optimization, making any necessary adjustments to improve performance and prevent post-upgrade issues. 

Additionally, backup and recovery measures are put in place to safeguard data integrity throughout the upgrade process. With our proactive approach to risk mitigation, practices can feel confident that their data is protected and that any unforeseen issues can be swiftly addressed. 

Maximizing New Features & Workflow Optimization 

With each new version of NextGen Enterprise, enhancements and new features are introduced to improve efficiency. However, understanding and fully leveraging these updates requires expertise. Our team identifies and documents all new functionalities in Version 8, providing customized recommendations on how to best integrate them into your existing workflows. 

Through a workflow analysis, we help practices streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, and improve productivity. By making targeted adjustments, we ensure that your practice is not only upgraded but also positioned for better long-term system performance. 

Addressing Functional Gaps & System Customization 

As part of the transition, we conduct a functional gap analysis to compare your practice’s needs with Version 8’s capabilities. This allows us to identify areas for de-customization, ensuring that your system remains efficient, compliant, and easier to maintain in the long run. 

If custom development is necessary, we estimate the development hours needed to make adjustments, ensuring that your practice has a clear roadmap for essential updates and enhancements. 

Seamless Vendor Coordination & Third-Party System Integration 

Many healthcare practices rely on external systems, such as labs, pharmacies, and imaging services, that need to be integrated with NextGen Enterprise. DAS Health acts as a centralized point of contact, managing all technical discussions and requirements between your practice, NextGen, and third-party vendors. 

By ensuring compatibility and seamless integration, we help avoid disruptions to clinical and administrative workflows, making the transition as smooth as possible. 

Built-In Security and Compliance 

 
Upgrading critical systems demands more than performance,it requires security. DAS Health ensures HIPAA compliance and robust data protection at every stage of the upgrade, including encrypted backups, secure integration protocols, and audit-ready documentation for regulatory peace of mind. 

Optimizing Ancillary Product Performance 

For practices that use custom applications or ancillary products, we provide comprehensive support to ensure compatibility with Version 8. Our team assists in reconfiguring applications, conducting end-to-end testing, and verifying full functionality before the system goes live. 

By addressing these components early in the upgrade process, we eliminate last-minute technical issues and ensure a flawless transition. 

Training & Testing: Preparing Your Team for Success 

A system upgrade is only as effective as its user adoption. If staff members are unfamiliar with the new features and workflows, efficiency can suffer. Our role-based training ensures that clinicians, administrators, and support staff are well-prepared to navigate NextGen Enterprise Version 8 with confidence. 

We provide: 
✔ Job aids, user guides, and quick-reference materials for easy learning. 
✔ User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to allow key stakeholders to validate the upgrade before full deployment. 
✔ Hands-on training sessions to ensure staff readiness and a smooth transition. 

By prioritizing user education, we help reduce errors, improve efficiency, and maximize the benefits of your upgraded system. 

Go-Live & Post-Upgrade Support: A Smooth Transition Without Disruptions 

The go-live phase is one of the most critical moments of any system upgrade. DAS Health provides real-time, expert support to ensure that your practice can continue running smoothly during and after the transition. 

During go-live, we offer: 
✔ Onsite or remote assistance to address any immediate concerns. 
✔ A dedicated command center for real-time issue resolution. 
✔ A period for post-upgrade stabilization and troubleshooting. 
✔ Ongoing system performance monitoring to ensure continued efficiency. 

With DAS Health’s proactive approach to post-upgrade support, your team can focus on delivering patient care without disruptions.
