NextGen, Microsoft partner for improved med adherence

NextGen Healthcare Information Systems has joined with Microsoft Corp. to develop and launch the NextGen MedicineCabinet application. With the goal being increased patient engagement, the NextGen MedicineCabinet allows customers to create, store, track and share personal medication records.

The free NextGen MedicineCabinet application, available through the Microsoft app store, enables patients to create and update a list of medications, including dosing and schedule information, thus creating their own personal medication record. Users can add a medication to the list, enter in dosing requirements and let the application run. Notifications are then sent for each medication and users can confirm compliance.
