NextPatient

NextPatient builds technology for medical practices, centred on a patient scheduling and engagement platform that integrates with existing EHR and practice management systems. Its product suite includes patient self-scheduling, automated waitlists, digital check-in, payments, recalls and appointment reminders. The company's self-scheduling capability was ranked first in Patient Self-Scheduling by KLAS Research, and the platform is used across thousands of offices.

The engineering work spans healthcare IT, integration with EHR and practice management systems, self-scheduling technology and workflow automation. The stated aim is to let patients schedule and navigate appointments themselves while reducing administrative work for practices. Customers include dermatology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, med spa, primary care and urgent care providers.

NextPatient has roughly 40 people and is distributed across the United States. The company has raised no outside funding and is bootstrapped, which it describes as allowing it to focus on customers rather than investor priorities. It positions itself as nimble, shipping frequently and competing with larger, better-funded rivals on the quality of the software experience.
