Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center Case Study

This case study outlines the operations and challenges faced by the Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, a community health facility in Kansas City, MO. Established in 1968, the center provides a range of services including medical, dental, and behavioral health care to over 20,000 patients annually, with a focus on culturally competent care. The center initially partnered with NextGen Healthcare in 2008 but transitioned to another EHR vendor in 2017, retaining NextGen for dental records. In 2021, the center returned to NextGen Healthcare to consolidate their electronic health record systems, aiming for improved efficiency and integrated care delivery. The case study details the impact of this transition, including the achievement of Silver Level Health Center Quality Leader Award and the benefits of configurable EHR templates. The center anticipates future collaboration with NextGen to enhance service delivery and address social determinants of health more effectively.
