2. “On average, we see about 10-12 new
patients a day. NextPen saves me 10-15
minutes per patient, or one and a half to
two hours a day!”

3. So how does it work?
You can choose your data capture style – handwriting, or handwriting
plus voice. Only from NextGen Healthcare.
In just a few simple steps, our NextPen Solutions capture
information, turn it into structured data or enable transcription into
narrative text, and flow the data into the correct fields for the correct
patients in your NextGen®
Ambulatory EHR.
Perfect for patients and providers who don’t dictate.
• Capture information—a tiny camera at the tip of this
ground-breaking pen tracks NextPen Write’s position
on a paper form and records every stroke.
• Turn information into structured data— place the pen
in its USB docking station to transfer the captured
“digital ink” for immediate conversion to structured data.
• Flow data into your EHR—once approved,
NextPen Write automatically flows the structured data
into the NextGen Ambulatory EHR and Practice
Management system.
Perfect for providers who dictate
• Capture information—a microphone in this ground-
breaking pen records voice input. Simply double-tap
on the form to start recording and tap again to stop.
As users dictate into the pen, the recorded audio is
automatically associated with the correct patient,
form, and field. Use handwriting and dictation
interchangeably, seamlessly. Use whichever is most
convenient for a given field!
• Turn information into structured data—connect the
USB connector of NextPen Voice to your PC to transfer
the captured “digital ink” and dictation. Handwriting is
recognized immediately and dictation is automatically
routed for transcription.
• Flow data into your EHR—once approved, NextPen
Voice automatically flows the data into the patient’s
chart as narrative text.
• Switch between capture styles—Simply alternate
between handwriting capture and voice capture.

7. NextPen
Solutions are
secure.
Even if your NextPen®
digital pen
is lost or stolen, unauthorized users
cannot access its secure data.
NextPen®
digital pens will not transfer data to any
PC that does not first provide the preconfigured
password. Without it, the pen is unreadable.
NextPen®
digital pens use a tiny camera to recognize
a unique, secure dot pattern on the background of
every form printed by the system. The pattern contains
a unique identifier that the pens decode to match
the form to the appropriate patient record in the
EHR. This ensures that all patient data goes directly
and automatically to the correct record. Common
color laser printers can easily print these patterns on
ordinary copy paper, even though each pattern is as
unique as a fingerprint.
