What is NextGen Healthcare EHR?

NextGen Healthcare provides ambulatory practices of all size solutions along with dedicated support and professional services. NextGen® Enterprise EHR offers practices configurable clinical content, workflows, and an integrated patient experience platform that incorporates telehealth. With NextGen® Mobile, providers’ smartphones become an extension of the EHR, saving time. NextGen has its own fully integrated solutions that provide dictation, speech-to-text, direct to desktop and Ambient Listening AI technology. NextGen Mobile Pro provides these capabilities, replacing their need for additional integrated solutions. Managed cloud hosting keeps practices secure and makes upgrades easier, though on-premise options are also available.

NextGen® Enterprise PM supports patient registration and scheduling, eligibility verification, and pre-service financial clearance. It also provides rules-based charge creation, claims scrubbing and processing, and supports A/R management and collections and reporting.

Through integrating an EHR and PM system, the software helps to enhance patient engagement, better manage the practice's revenue cycle, optimize the management of its patient population, and expand communication with other healthcare organizations.

NextGen® Office is a cloud-based EHR designed to support practice growth, save staff time, and increase patient volume. The integrated clinical and billing platform features specialty-specific EHR content, mobile accessibility, a revenue cycle management system, and a patient portal.

Through the portal, patients can manage their care as they are enabled to go online to schedule appointments, request refills, schedule virtual visits, and connect with their providers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Next GEN as a provider to access health records, reviewing patients’ labs, charting, ordering tests, referrals, and in any aspect of a patient’s care. I am really unsure as to what this question means by asking what business problems the product addresses. My company, Next GEN, is used in multiple ways, including billing, registration, Next GEN AI, and more.

Pros

Ease of being able to chart with templates.
The RX system is particularly well easy to access and to send medication’s.

Cons

Some templates seem to have issues that have not been resolved.
With the new update, I feel it doesn’t function as well as the previous one, and it's harder to access and find things, or navigate.

Return on Investment

The billing system ensures accurate billing and generates revenue within our office.
The billing system is just overall efficient.

Administrator in Professional Services (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NextGen Office software to help facilitate running an integrated primary care office and a behavioral health therapy office. All employees from providers to front office use this program as our EMR system. The system is used daily.

Pros

Good coordination between both office locations. Each side can view the other & see what the patient has scheduled.

Cons

System issues. Seems like every time there is an update he system goes down completely, or something within the EHR side of things gets messed up. It has been everything from coding, tasks & messages, patient's charts, scheduling, and so forth. When this happens the clinic comes to a sort of stand still. It is very disruptive.

Return on Investment

NextGen has helped us streamline billing & monthly invoices thru InstaMed, as well as it helping to make payments easier for patients.

Multiple notes required for EHR side and PM side of same patient chart.
