As trusted partners to health-tech vendors, healthcare providers and integrated care networks, 6B offers full-lifecycle integration with NextGen — from initial discovery and design, through development, deployment and ongoing support. Whether you’re building scheduling tools, mobile assessment apps, decision-support modules, patient portals or analytics dashboards, our integrations are scalable, secure and aligned with interoperability standards.
With deep domain expertise in healthcare IT and digital transformation, our team understands how to connect to NextGen’s API, interface and middleware environments — ensuring your solution integrates smoothly, safely and sustainably.
Understanding NextGen Healthcare Integration
NextGen Healthcare provides a comprehensive EHR and practice-management ecosystem designed to support ambulatory care, enterprise outpatient services, specialty practices and population-health workflows. The platform offers cloud-enabled services, robust developer APIs, and mature interoperability features — including FHIR-based endpoints, RESTful services, and legacy HL7 interfaces.
Beyond core clinical functionality, NextGen supports document, laboratory, device, immunisation and content-management interfaces that extend the EHR into broader care delivery ecosystems. With its developer programme, API marketplace and integration engine (Mirth Connect) built for high-scale data exchange, NextGen makes it possible for third-party apps and integrations to plug into workflows, surface patient data, automate processes and support multi-site deployments.
By integrating your solution with NextGen, you gain access to a flexible, standards-aware platform that supports both modern API-led models and established HL7 document and message exchange patterns — enabling connectivity across legacy systems and next-gen healthtech services.
Our NextGen Healthcare Integration Process
At 6B, we begin each engagement with a discovery and planning phase, collaborating with your team to define your core use-cases (for example: patient data access, appointment/booking update, document exchange, mobile documentation, analytics feed or referral workflow). We identify relevant NextGen APIs, interface standards (FHIR, REST, HL7 v2/v2.5) or middleware flows and map them to your technical and clinical objectives.
Following that, we undertake architecture and design, where our experts craft a secure and scalable integration framework. This includes authentication (OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect or NextGen’s specific flow), data mapping and transformation, message routing, event triggering and user-context modelling. We build the blueprint to ensure your integration aligns with NextGen’s platform and your governance, performance and security requirements.
During development and testing, we use our library of reusable components — such as FHIR/REST resource handlers, authentication modules and API connectors — to accelerate build time while ensuring quality and consistency. We conduct rigorous sandbox testing to validate data integrity, message flows, error handling, scalability and compliance before moving into production.
When ready, we manage the deployment and go-live phase, co-ordinating credentialing, configuration, user acceptance testing and monitoring during launch. Post-deployment, we provide ongoing maintenance and support, tracking API version changes, platform updates, governance changes and ensuring your integration stays robust, secure and aligned with NextGen’s evolving roadmap.
Benefits of NextGen Healthcare Integration
Integrating your application with NextGen generates significant value across clinical, operational and vendor domains.
Clinicians benefit because your solution surfaces data at the point of care, embedded within their familiar workflows — reducing manual duplication, improving data accuracy and freeing time for patient-facing activity.
Patients benefit from improved continuity of care, smoother transitions between services, enhanced access through portals or mobile tools and better coordination among providers.
Healthcare organisations gain operational efficiency via streamlined data exchanges, improved interoperability, reduced integration complexity and alignment with national digital health ambitions.
For health-tech vendors, integration into the NextGen ecosystem offers access to a large provider base, faster adoption via standards-based architecture, easier procurement and a scalable foundation for future growth.

NextGen Healthcare Integration FAQs
What interoperability standards does NextGen support?
What interoperability standards does NextGen support?
NextGen supports RESTful, FHIR-based APIs (DSTU2/R4) as well as traditional HL7 v2/v2.5 interfaces, document exchange (CCD/C-CDA) and extensive middleware support.
How can third-party apps integrate with NextGen?
How can third-party apps integrate with NextGen?
Via the NextGen Developer Programme: register applications, obtain credentials through the API onboarding process, and use RESTful or FHIR routes, interfaces or middleware pathways to exchange data.
Does NextGen support patient-facing data access?
Does NextGen support patient-facing data access?
Yes — NextGen offers Patient Access APIs and bulk FHIR endpoints, enabling apps to retrieve patient health information securely from practices running NextGen platforms.
What authentication mechanisms are used?
What authentication mechanisms are used?
Integration uses OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect for many API flows. Onboarding and sandbox setup include secure credentialing, two-factor authentication and role-based access control.
What types of integration scenarios are common?
What types of integration scenarios are common?
Examples include appointment scheduling and updates, referral and document exchange workflows, mobile clinical documentation, patient-portal synchronisation, lab/device interfaces, analytics exports and vendor application embedding.
How do we prepare for integration with NextGen?
How do we prepare for integration with NextGen?
You should define your use case(s), ensure data-governance (e.g., lawful basis, privacy) and security readiness, map your data flows and user contexts, select APIs/interfaces, secure your application credentials via the Developer Portal, plan for sandbox testing and define go-live and ongoing support strategy.
How can integration scale across multiple practices or organisations?
How can integration scale across multiple practices or organisations?
Because NextGen offers open APIs, middleware pathways and a scalable architecture, you can deploy across multiple practices or care networks using reusable integration patterns, reducing site-by-site customisation and accelerating rollout.
Readiness checklist for NextGen Healthcare Integration
- Define your integration use case(s): e.g., patient data access, scheduling updates, mobile clinical workflows or analytics export.
- Confirm your organisation’s data-governance and lawful basis for processing/sharing patient data under applicable regulation.
- Identify which NextGen APIs, interfaces or middleware paths (FHIR/API, HL7, document exchange) your solution will leverage.
- Design your authentication, consent management, audit logging and access control aligned with NextGen’s requirements.
- Map your data flows, event triggers, system boundaries and user context to ensure clarity and integrity.
- Register through the NextGen Developer Portal, obtain sandbox access, and execute test datasets, including error and edge case scenarios.
- Prepare your deployment and support plan: configuration, user training, go-live monitoring, revision control, version upgrades and long-term maintenance.
