NextGen Enterprise Integration Services: A Genuinely Direct Connection

NextGen Enterprise's API surface is genuinely broad, spanning both clinical and practice management data through a large set of documented routes rather than a narrow, limited subset of common resources.

Over 400 REST API Routes for Read and Write Access

NextGen's Enterprise API comprises more than 400 JSON-based RESTful routes covering EHR and practice management workflows, supporting both reading existing data and writing updates back into the platform across a broad range of use cases.

Built-In FHIR-Enabled Patient Access API

NextGen provides a built-in Patient Access API supporting FHIR standards, giving patient-facing applications a standards-based path to clinical data that aligns with broader industry FHIR adoption rather than a purely proprietary interface.

SMART on FHIR Support for Embedded Clinical Apps

Applications built to the SMART on FHIR standard can embed directly into NextGen's clinical workflow, giving users an integrated experience similar to what SMART on FHIR apps achieve inside other major EHR platforms.

Bulk FHIR APIs Aligned With Cures Act Requirements

NextGen's platform includes Bulk FHIR API support aligned with 21st Century Cures Act requirements, relevant for use cases needing larger-scale data export rather than single-patient, single-request API calls.

Because NextGen Healthcare builds Mirth Connect itself, integrations between the two benefit from a documented, first-party relationship rather than reverse-engineered or loosely supported connectivity built by a third party.

Leveraging Mirth Connect's Documented NextGen Support

NextGen explicitly documents Mirth Connect as a supported integration engine for NextGen Enterprise, which means the connection patterns we build on are based on genuine, first-party integration guidance rather than unofficial workarounds.

Scoping Your Specific API Routes and Data Needs

With over 400 available routes, we work with you to scope exactly which specific endpoints your integration actually needs, avoiding the complexity of building against a broader API surface than your use case requires.

Building Both FHIR and Proprietary REST Connections

Depending on your specific requirements, we build connections through NextGen's FHIR-based Patient Access API, its broader proprietary REST routes, or both together, depending on which best fits your particular data and workflow needs.

Testing Thoroughly in NextGen's Sandbox Environment

We validate NextGen integrations against a proper testing environment before touching production data, the same disciplined approach we'd apply to any EHR integration regardless of the underlying vendor relationship involved.

Many organizations already running Mirth Connect against NextGen Enterprise rely on established HL7 v2 interfaces, and a realistic integration plan often builds on that existing foundation rather than replacing it outright.

Existing HL7 v2 Channels Often Still Work Well

If your organization already has working Mirth channels handling HL7 v2 exchange with NextGen, those interfaces often continue serving their purpose well, and a new project can extend rather than necessarily replace that existing work.

REST APIs Fit New, Modern Integration Needs

For newer integration needs, particularly patient-facing applications or third-party tools needing standards-based access, NextGen's REST and FHIR APIs are often the more natural fit than building new HL7 v2 interfaces from scratch.

We Assess Your Existing Mirth Environment First

Before recommending an approach, we review what's already running in your Mirth environment against NextGen, since building on and extending existing, working infrastructure is usually more efficient than starting over unnecessarily.

Combining Both Approaches in One Coherent Architecture

Many NextGen integration projects genuinely benefit from combining existing HL7 v2 channels with newer REST or FHIR connections, rather than treating the choice between them as strictly either-or for your entire integration architecture.
