NexHealth vs. NextGen® Practice Management Solutions

Dental offices needing to scale down the many services they use would be a perfect fit. I think any medical facility would use Nexhealth and love it! A situation where a doctor is looking to expand their online presence is also a great opportunity for Nexhealth. We have gotten 100s of new Google reviews, but the great thing is they are all 5 star. We used Swell and granted, Swell gets a higher review count, but Nexhealth is pretty good!

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.

• Our forms have had trouble syncing with Dentrix
• There is customization we would like to be able to do inside new patient forms that we cannot do
• Syncing issues with paperwork into Dentrix

Incentivized

• The software requires annoying/disruptive updates.
• The software is housed on our own server. We have found that cloud-based solutions are much more convenient.
• At times, the system is a bit "slow."
• The canned reporting/BI tool is not as malleable as many of the other solutions we have used and/or trialed.
• We were able to achieve cost-savings through some other systems.

Nexhealth is superior because it is more advanced in customization than all of the above. We have had a few issues with syncing and I don't want practices to overlook this. The program is not 100% foolproof.

NextGen was more scattered and less streamlined than either Allscripts or EPIC

• Reduced our cost per month for multiple programs
• Gotten us more Google reviews
• Saved us time sending automatic messages to patients

• 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.
