Frequently asked questions
NextStep Solutions scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. NextStep Solutions publishes no API, developer portal, or FHIR endpoint; its ONC certification covers CCDA export and patient portal download only. Data leaves the EHR through in-app reports, dashboards, and CCDA files, or vendor-built integrations.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.

Healthcare: behavioral health and substance use treatment agencies, outpatient, residential, crisis and in-home programs, with state-specific reporting packages such as Iowa IBHRS and Minnesota DAANES (https://www.nssbehavioralhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/NSS_Iowa.pdf, https://go.nssbehavioralhealth.com/daanes/). Agencies configure custom forms and workflows, clinicians chart assessments, treatment plans and progress notes on tablets or through NextStep Mobile, nurses run eMAR and med passing in residential programs, and billers use the EZ-Billing engine to translate charting into Medicaid, Medicare and commercial claims.

Limited third-party integrations may reduce interoperability with other systems. Separate billing system is a nuisance, patient statements did not exist, and two business entities cannot be billed from one system. Full sourced list under Sources below.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official NextStep Solutions MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. NextStep Solutions doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
