Day to Day clinical and billing operations for a podiatry company.
Overall, I think it's a great program.
We
are an orthopedic practice utilizing NextGen Healthcare’s EHR and EPM systems in
our clinical operations. The EHR
supports orthopedic documentation, e-prescribing, and regulatory compliance,
while the EPM streamlines scheduling, billing, and claims management. We also utilize Therapy Suite to coordinate care between providers and therapists.
NextGen Healthcare EHR works well for specialty practices like orthopedics, offering customizable templates, therapy suite integration, and efficient scheduling and billing through EPM. The patient portal is difficult to utilize, but still functional.
We use NextGen Healthcare EHR to manage all of our patient care. We schedule appointments, chart patient encounters, manage medical records and send all claims through the software. This software makes viewing patient records, including balances and payments very easy and new staff is able to learn the system quickly. It is helpful to be able to use the training available through the system when we are training staff.
NextGen is very easy to navigate and simple to learn. The patient scheduling and calendars are very clear and the flexibility to customize the calendars is very helpful. When we are making patient appointments it is clear what times are available for each doctor and office which helps avoid mistakes since we have multiple doctors and offices.
Our entire clinic runs on NextGen Healthcare EHR. Business office, nurse and physician documentation, infusion documentation, patient portal, analytics. We have 12 specialty physicians in our practice who use this software on a daily basis. We use several plugins such as Luma, Instamed, NextGen Share, and we have interfaces between NextGen and our lab and radiology software.
The system has so many options that at times it can be overwhelming for users to try to find what they need. Tech savvy users can accomplish a lot in this software, but folks who aren't as good with computers can really struggle.
We use NextGen Healthcare EHR as our point of care solution for all of our providers and as the hub to the other tools that connect to the system for total whole person care. This solution helps us be the true primary care providers we hope to be by having the historical and real time information at our finger tips for the encounter.
For Primary Care and Behavioral Health Providers in the outpatient setting, NextGen Healthcare EHR is the leading solution because of its ease of use, setup, and workflow customization. It has additonal software like Dental and Population modules that are great tie ins to the EHR that make hand offs and other specialties workflows work seamlessly.
We use NextGen Healthcare EHR for both our pain management office and surgery center. We love the ability to customize encounters and documents to address our constantly changing workflow.
NextGen Healthcare EHR is great for customization to meet workflows and ever changing government requirements. Only issue is the NextGen Healthcare EHR Version upgrades are difficult if you do these customizations.
We have used Nextgen EPM and EMR for over 20 years. We are a multi-specialty medical practice and have always liked how customizable Nextgen is. Within the template editor, we can customize by provider or specialty for a better workflow for our providers.
If you are a multi-specialty physician office, it is very customizable, which is extremely helpful. It helps create a more efficient provider workflow.
It is used for Primary Care as well as some behavioral health usage in an integrated care setting.
Best for high performing primary care offices. If you are wanting a low knowledge investment system, NextGen does not fit the mold as it requires an investment from staff to use appropriately.
We use NextGen Healthcare EHR as our EHR and our Practice Management system. So we schedule appointments through there but also contain medical records, build progress notes, bill office visits, send labs, etc. As a cardiology group we are a specialty that not many EMR systems can provide what we need, NextGen has given us opportunities to customize templates and tailor workflows to our culture.
NextGen Healthcare EHR is well suited in being able to handle larger clients but could improve they have to support those larger clients.
I work with practices and help find solutions for workflow, operations, and day-to-day obstacles. NextGen is a tool we help to document patient visits, prescribe RX, document referrals, schedule, and bill.
Nextgen works well for multispecialty physician practices and generally well for FQHC and IHS. I would never recommend it for an ADC or for any type of inpatient setting.
