Architecture

NextGen EMR supports the latest open architecture standards through its flexible and scalable design. Written in Microsoft Visual Basic* and Visual C++*, NextGen incorporates true client-server technology, relational database management and a graphical user interface. Users can interact with the system through a portable, wireless workstation, such as a Tablet or Pocket PC, or a standard Windows-based desktop PC with a mouse, light pen or touch screen. As data is captured, it is relayed back to the database engine on a Unix*, Windows 2000/NT or Novell* server. Based on the platform chosen, NextGen EMR scales from one work station to thousands.
