## The Problem

Pain Management Practice Managers leave athenahealth encounters open for days — billing can't drop claims, compliance risk piles up, and the provider takes charting home.

## What We Build in NextGen

AI drafts the encounter note from the visit audio and prior chart, populates orders and billing codes, and queues it for provider sign-off — charts close same-day, every day. Purpose-built for teams running NextGen — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## NextGen Integration Approach

1. **Audit your NextGen configuration.** We map the specific NextGen objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your pain management practice.
2. **Build on the NextGen API or agent.** Integration happens inside NextGen — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in NextGen with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
