The Challenge

Making a good thing better

Fairfield County Bariatrics had partnered with NextGen Healthcare but had not yet experienced the full value this partnership could deliver to their practice. They were successfully using NextGen® Enterprise EHR and NextGen® Enterprise PM but were several system upgrades behind.
Further, the practice’s financial performance had not been optimized. Financial benchmarks such as accounts receivable (AR) turnover and days sales outstanding (DSO) needed improvement.

The Solution

Implementing a successful upgrade

The practice initiated a process to fully upgrade its NextGen Healthcare systems. This upgrade would help streamline processes and create the operational efficiencies needed to support their staff, enable providers to spend more time with patients, and achieve other practice goals.

Fairfield County Bariatrics set an aggressive timeframe for system training and implementation. “We completed the implementation in a couple of phases with Phase 1 being data extraction and migration and Phase 2 being planning and training,” said Katy Andrews Dunay, practice administrator at Fairfield County Bariatrics.

Fairfield Bariatrics also adopted NextGen® Financial Suite. Thanks to the decision to adopt this revenue cycle management solution, during implementation of the upgrade they maintained cash flow with no dip in revenue cycle performance.


"NextGen Ambient Assist has been life-changing for me. The mental burden of carrying work home or into after-hours has always been stressful, and this program has significantly eased that strain."
