Nextech: How it Works
Create TouchMD accounts using Nextech Select or Practice+ APIs
When patient accounts are created, edited, or scheduled for an appointment in Nextech they will be also be added to TouchMD (first name, last name, and DOB are required; a patient email address is highly encouraged). This process may take up to 5 minutes before TouchMD receives the patient’s information from Nextech and the patient account is created TouchMD.
Only basic patient demographics will be used by TouchMD to create a patient account. This includes name, date of birth, email, phone number, and gender.
Send pictures and consents from TouchMD to Nextech Select or Practice+
Pictures & consents can transfer from TouchMD to Nextech (optional setting):
- Patient pictures* saved in the TouchMD system can be added to Nextech automatically.
- Patient consents or document saved in the TouchMD system can be added to Nextech automatically.
- Choose to use dashboard.touchmd.com to manually send patient pictures and/or consents back to Nextech.
- For Nextech Select: Images will be added to the “Photos” and “Miscellaneous” tabs. Consents/Documents will be added to the “Misc” tab.
- *For Nextech Practice+: Consents/Documents will be added to the “Documents” section. Photos do not transfer.
Initial TouchMD patient account creation
As a part of the Nextech integration setup process a TouchMD patient account will be created for any patients that have been added, modified, or scheduled in Nextech for all time. The Nextech patient record must contain a full name and date of birth to be created in TouchMD during this process.
Nextech: Steps to Integrate
Select and Practice+ API
- Your Client Success Advisor or support team member will create an integration support ticket for you.
- The Nextech API team will process your request to setup the TouchMD API access. When this is complete, they will notify your Client Success Advisor or support team member.
- Upon activation, all of patient data from Nextech will be used to initially create patient accounts in TouchMD. Please note: patients accounts that are not created during this initial process will be added to TouchMD when a patient is added or edited (in the case the patient is missing either a first name, last name, or a date of birth) in Nextech.
- Your Client Success Advisor or support team member will reach out to confirm the completion of this integration request.
