NextGen, Medline integrate technologies

NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems has entered into a strategic agreement with Medline Industries, a privately held manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products to hospitals, extended care facilities, surgery centers, physician offices and home care organizations.

Under the agreement, Medline’s medical sales force of more than 1,100 representatives will work with NextGen Healthcare to co-market NextGen technologies to Medline’s customer base comprised of more than 100,000 locations consisting of physician practices and hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Medline also will work with its medical device and productivity partners to encourage them to combine their technologies with NextGen Ambulatory EHR.

The alliance also identified Medline as the "preferred provider" of medical supplies for the NextGen Preferred Provider Advantage purchasing program, which is a value-added service to the NextGen customer base that enables clients to purchase their medical supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals.
