Considered Both Products
NextGen Healthcare EHR
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
NextGen is easier for personnel to understand. Updates are automatic. You don't have to purchase plug-ins to continue operating at high efficiency.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
NextGen is great and does everything we need. It is more robust than these other software and has the best reporting.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
I have not personally been with the companies while they were using another EMR program.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
EPIC is much more robust. NextGen is less expensive for small to midsize practices than EPIC.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
While i have had some good experiences with other EHR system , i prefer and highly recommend NextGen EHR as it allows me to quickly access it through claim charge entry. As a medical coder that is one of most used tools on this system
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
I didn’t select it. The company was already using NextGen Healthcare EHR when I was hired. NextGen Healthcare EHR is competitive and easier to use than Cerner.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
We selected NextGen EHR exclusively because of the price point. We use Cerner for other hospital EHR functions and it outpaces NextGen in every way. Feature wise, NextGen is slightly behind Cerner, but administration decided to go with NextGen because the price was …
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
Overall, I did not make the decision to choose next GEN. It has been used in my company since the initial requirements for electronic records for billing came into effect. However, my company has continued to use the system. It works very well, is very efficient, and keeps …
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
I have not used any other EHR systems
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
NextGen Healthcare EHR is much faster and more reliable than IMS. We no longer have constant issues with the system being down during clinic. It is also much easier to navigate and for new employees to learn. We did not have training options or knowledge base available in the …
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
It is highly customizable, which is very useful for a multi-specialty physician's office.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR

Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
NextGen is ok. It is not, nor will it ever be, EPIC. I have seen strides from Cerner since the Oracle acquisition, which will certainly give Nextgen a run for its status quo attitude. ECW is still very popular in the FQHC world. I have worked with NextGen software for many …
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
Raintree was significantly faster and extremely customizable. The primary reason we left Raintree was because it was time consuming to customizations and whenever there was a system update, in order to accept those updates, we had to re-do all of the customizations. If it …
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
The Meditech solution I used was a green screen product, so NextGen is a vast improvement over that (Meditech may have improved by now). The Horizon and McKesson EMRs that I used may not be correctly identified above, but my experience is that all EMRs provide the same basic …
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
Ability to customize and set up external APIs and Interfaces.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
NextGen Healthcare EHR was our first system.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
Never used another product. Our company has been using NextGen Healthcare EHR for over 10 years.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
We are moving away from NextGen Healthcare EHR to Epic this year.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
NG is like no other software I have ever used. I thought if you used one software they are all alike. Not this software, it is totally different but let me tell you very thorough and it also can track anything that anyone has done in a work day. Good auditing system.
Chose NextGen Healthcare EHR
Cerner seems to be more for inpatient care and NextGen is much easier to navigate throughout.

I personally like the detailed evaluation wizard that is guiding you from palpating, Edema measurements, PROM measurements, manual muscle testing, mobility, and the end feels reliable and valid special tests, medical history, short term, and long term goals. Also, I like the exercise prescription.

Pros
  • NextGen has always stayed on top of the many changes every year and remained certified. I have seen many EHR companies go out of business or seen users have to change EHR systems in order to remain compliant for reporting.
  • With NextGen, I am able to make a few customizations that my providers ask for to make their documentation easier. Not all EHR's are customizable. While it is not best practice to do a lot of customizations, sometimes it is worth the extra work to keep your providers happy!
  • I love going to the NextGen User Group Meeting they have every year. I always learn things I didn't know and learn more about the things I do. They offer classes for everyone no matter what you do that pertains to NextGen. Even Government updates for healthcare.

Cons
  • NextGen completely misses the mark for ASCs, especially multispecialty.
  • NextGen EHR constantly struggles with UDS reporting based on the EHR documentation.
  • NextGen EHR struggles to compete because of automation. Most practices want to be dexterous, but it's not sustainable as we look to AI and automation.

Usability
The usability of the product is great. The difficulty that we have is in the background with the speed of servers or of things loading. If there are any issues with the remote server, things can really slow down drastically.

Performance
Pages load quickly and reports are uploaded quickly. It just takes far too many clicks to get anything complete in this program. If a patient wants to pay for something after we have checked them out of their appointment, or wants to make an appointment it is not efficient. In a busy practice like ours efficiency is key and we need to keep the flow going

Support Rating
Tier 1 support is useless. They gather details we've already provided and have no idea how to help us. Techs just call rather than scheduling an appointment which means we are in the middle of something else and our internal IT is unavailable to provide appropriate connection. Webex details aren't provided in advance of the call so it's difficult to get connected timely to have a conversation in real time during the support session. Many issues drag on for months and tickets get closed without resolution. It's a "known issue" is the most unhelpful response to a recurring problem. UGM Learning Lab is perfect because the issues based experts are there! It would be ideal to always be connected like that in real time

Return on Investment
  • electronic payment posting has saved us many man hours each and every month
  • the ability to be able to code an encounter and upload to a clearing house in a matter of minutes has been a real time saver to our practice
  • one task that has saved us much time without error is the check in check out process
