Case Study: Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists achieves rapid telehealth rollout and integrated virtual visits with NextGen Healthcare

Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists Sees Patients in a New Way

Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists, with eight clinics across Central Virginia, provides advanced, compassionate care for heart and vascular conditions. When COVID-19 prompted an approximately 80% drop in return and non‑urgent visits and hospitals halted elective procedures, the group needed a rapid way to protect patients and staff while maintaining continuity of care.

They implemented NextGen Virtual Visits™ in three days, fully integrating video visits with their EHR so nurses could triage and prep patients, providers could document in real time, and billing processed automatically each night. The shift restored routine appointments virtually, patients (including elderly patients) adapted quickly, workflows remained streamlined, and revenue capture continued without manual tracking.
