- Health IT vendor NextGen Healthcare has announced the latest release of its integrated behavioral health suite, which now offers enhanced EHR functionality to support the delivery of foster care services.

NextGen says its Behavioral Health Suite is the first platform to integrate physical health, behavioral health, human services, and oral health in one software solution.

The suite will now offer state-specific reporting, allowing behavioral health providers to meet complex regulatory requirements. That’s key in states like New York or Indiana, where regulatory requirements are particularly granular.
