What is NextGen EHR?

Overview

NextGen EMR grew from a company founded in 1998 by two doctors with a unified goal – to improve the efficiency of medical office operations. Company founders designed a solution to accommodate physician and staff workflow with easy-to-use, affordable technology that adapts to every facility’s unique workflow and is accessible anywhere.
NextGen Medical Software is a cloud-based EMR platform (MediTouch) specifically designed for private practices. Next Gen Software is a fully integrated practice management solution that includes specialty-specific content, a claims clearinghouse, and an easy-to-use patient portal. In addition, it works on any tablet, or laptop (Apple or Windows), is touchscreen-enabled, compatible with all browsers, and is HIPAA compliant.

To allow easy access for all users, medical records should be interoperable. It is critical that the software also provides this to medical practices that already have limited resources. When running a clinic or hospital, you need all the assistance you can get. This feature links the program to other healthcare providers and adds you to the network. You can refer patients to specialists and obtain medical records from previous doctors. When you have access to a library of information, identifying ailments and developing the optimal treatment strategy is also quite simple.

A medical clinic should have a well-organized timetable; else, their facility will not work correctly. The system gives you the tools to optimize your appointments and see more patients in a single day. It also can send patients reminders before their scheduled appointment to ensure that they do not miss them. You can also fill open spaces with people on the waiting list. As a result, making an appointment is considerably more straightforward, and there are no last-minute cancellations, which is a significant concern for many doctors.

Doctors can download the clinical summary with EMR, which saves time reading a full medical report. Also, they can quickly read through the diagnosis and treatment plan to get a complete understanding. The system also has the option for encounter summaries, which summarize what happened during each appointment. It helps doctors catch up because they visit so many patients. They can also share these with their colleagues to obtain a second perspective on a particular instance. Overall, the function is intended to assist already overburdened medical professionals.

The next feature we'll talk about is the e-prescribing tool in EMR, which helps you detect prescription combinations, dosage issues, and patient allergies. Using this EHR, you may make digital prescriptions and send them to your patients' preferred pharmacies. After then, patients can pick it up whenever they like. This application also sends out alerts about potential drug interactions. Overall, the e-prescription feature will benefit both you and your patients.

Pros

The integration between our practice manager (scheduling) and EMR (records) software is fantastic. Also I love how I can carry forward and save smart phrases to speed up my note writing process.

Cons

Personally, I find completing the exercise log to be a boring and time consuming task as it takes longer compared to other sections of notes. Additionally, some sections of evaluations are not intuitive which makes it challenging to locate certain information.

Pros

Although not all insurances that our doctors are in-network with are in NextGen, still I like the ease of checking eligibility and benefits. I believe NextGen can improve by adding more insurance options.

Cons

Initially, I hated it because it felt too old-school for my taste. The visual appearance gave it an outdated and somewhat boring feel. However with time, I got the hang of it. I also noticed that it's slower compared to other EMRs out there.
