NextGen® Practice Management Solutions vs. VCDoctor

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.

VCDoctor is the perfect software to manage your healthcare operations but not suitable for emergency treatment.

• HIPPA: VCDoctor is strictly under the guidelines of HIPPA to secure patient details and brings trust to each other by ensuring that information is encrypted.

• Practice management.

• 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.

• Onsite office: If they could have a office or team in UK, it would be an added advantage.

Before VCDoctor, I was using Practice Fusion for the last 3.5 years. I came across with this product through reference and I initially started VCDoctor as a pilot/trial version

• 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.
