Gazelle PMS (discontinued) vs. NextGen® Practice Management Solutions

Anyone unable to find software specific to their needs- look no further. Gazelle Platform will suit you. The staffing world is suited as there are more variables than one person and one client. There are more variables. This software would cover anything but is maybe not needed for a simple user. This is to solve the problem of dynamics being outside the norm.

To start, Nextgen PM is NOT well-suited for companies who are looking for a could-based product—you will be required to house this software on your own server (this will force that company to maintain their own infrastructure). The solution is great for a company looking for a PM/EHR combo that communicates well with each other. The two modules are owned by the same company and does not require a costly API/bridge to be built between the two programs.

Overall, a very easy and robust system to use for small practices. It enables us to keep billing in house and connectivity with various databases keep the providers "in the know" about what's going on with their patients. Some solutions - such as the patient portal and online scheduling are cumbersome and we have difficulty getting patients to use them.

Gazelle Platform is much more advanced and user-friendly for a candidate scheduling multiple events. This triggers our candidates to easily schedule more interviews which is exactly what we need to save time and secure the candidate a job. Gazelle Platform is the only available software for what we needed. It’s not a simple calendar, it’s use is complex which is what was needed at my last staffing job.

We feel that Nextgen does not stack up very well against the cloud-based software on the market. Housing the underlying tables on your own hardware requires COSTLY man hours. We are in the business of providing health care services to patients, not database administration. Introducing cloud-based products has had a tremendously positive effect on our business.

• Gazelle Platform saves us time on taking calls for appointments for multiple location job interviews from many candidates looking for work.
• This has freed up a customer service rep to assist with other duties, so the ROI is positive.
• The initial cost of the Gazelle Platform is made up immediately, as the software will save you so much time and manpower.

• Nextgen did a good job of transitioning our practice away from paper health records.
• I believe that the Return on Investment would have been much higher had we gone straight to a cloud-based tool.
• By getting our feet wet with Nextgen, we have a pretty good understanding of Practice Management software. In other words, we could plug and play with most systems on the market.
