NextGen--if you have the IT staff--it's a great EMR

Overall Satisfaction with NextGen Healthcare Clinical Care Solutions (including MediTouch)

We are a Family Practice clinic that serves OB as well. We also have another practice specializing in Orthopedic care. We use it for all appointment scheduling, billing, and documentation.
  • The database is very clean and easy to get data out of. The reporting features in NextGen are rich.
  • It's billing for RHCs is by far the best I've seen.
  • It's open to as much customization as you are willing to support internally.
  • Support has some areas for improvement--the answers you get are usually very generic and require escalation.
  • Historically they've lacked focus on their core product and tried to expand too quickly into other areas with little support (Population Health for example)
  • Tough to tell with EMRs--they tend to be a negative to ROI overall. Although we did achieve MU each year using NextGen HQM--and our E/M coding has been moved in the right direction (we were undergoing badly)
Better customization, equal support (poor), better reporting (much better)

NextGen is terrific for Family Practice and an internal IT staff to manage. If you outsource your IT staff, you should probably look at a hosted solution from another company.
