NextGen Reviews

“easy to use”

Pros

The system is designed to be user-friendly and easily adaptable to our practice's needs. We appreciate the ability to customize everything including reporting systems to suit our preferences.

Cons

There is a lot to learn and initial training doesn't cover everything. Insufficient time is allocated for training considering the amount of information to be absorbed.

“The systems are very user friendly”

Pros

The EHR enables quick tasking appointment scheduling and report generation. Additionally it offers convenient appointment reminders enhancing efficiency within our practice.

Cons

System upgrades sometimes lack certain functions and some features may not be available during upgrades.

“very educational for first time meeting attendees”

Pros

The system now has improved functionality with fewer tabs and clicks required. The addition of more features and the ability to populate information on a single tab rather than switching between screens has made the overall experience more streamlined and satisfactory.

Cons

The OPH chart note needs improvement. It incorrectly populates the surgical history under past ocular history. Consistency in formatting alignment and font size is a concern as the note frequently switches back and forth.

“NextGen is like many other EHRs with it's pros and cons but seems to really care about improving.”

Pros

NextGen is highly customizable and tailored to meet the needs of FQHCs. Over the past 3-3 years the software has undergone significant improvements resulting in an enhanced user experience and improved customer support.

Cons

Additional add-ons come at an extra charge. Proper database maintenance requires IT staff and there are unresolved problems labeled as "known issues" without provided fixes.

“Great experience and”

Pros

The PM and reporting features are particularly beneficial for our practice. Generating reports is easy and the user-friendly interface is appreciated by our staff. The monitoring activity is also a valuable feature.

Cons

Integration of EDR and EPM charges is disliked. Voided codes on the PM side show as N/A on the EDR side.

“NextGen has been easy to learn and has grown with the changes that occur in the medical field.”

Pros

We find the ability to track authorizations using tasking and worklog as well as the seamless integration with the patient portal highly advantageous. The customization options for our specific practice and specialty needs are excellent.

Cons

Ongoing upgrades are necessary but lack a "reschedule" option for appointments. Canceling and rebooking is inconvenient a dedicated reschedule button would be preferable.

“We have been on since 3001 and found flexibility and functionality for our providers”

Pros

The recent changes in customizations and configurations have made upgrades easier and more efficient. We appreciate the flexibility to add functionalities as needed.

Cons

Navigating other specialties can be challenging as an ophthalmology practice but overall it's still a good product.

“it has automat ed our A/R work”

Pros

The tasking package has automated our billing department and improved communication with the EMR side. The support provided by NextGen is excellent.

Cons

The inability of reports to communicate with each other is frustrating. Billing and scheduling should be included in comprehensive reporting.

“I currently work in PM and am thrilled with all of the capabilities of the system”

Pros

The reporting capabilities of the system are exceptional providing more comprehensive data than any other software used before. The ability to drill down to the desired level of detail is impressive.

Cons

An improved integrated insurance eligibility tool with estimation and QA process is desired.

“Overall a good experience using this product.”

Pros

The continuous updates ensure that we always have the latest product and the help section is a valuable resource for quick information. The Success Community offered by NextGen is also amazing.

Cons

The software has excessive options and redundant functions. Some drop-down menu options are unnecessary and customizable.

“Nextgen EHR has good interaction with other Nextgen modules such as EPM”

Pros

NextGen is part of a comprehensive suite of products that includes EPM Document Management Mobile Solution and Patient Portal. This integration adds value to our practice's operations.

Cons

The product is released with bugs requiring subsequent fixes similar to IOS releases. Upgrading is a substantial project.

“I'm a new user as a Practice Manager. I've received a lot of help in a timely manner”

Pros

The ease of use is remarkable with new doctors quickly adapting to the system with minimal instruction. Setting up favorites for each doctor is straightforward.

Cons

Customizable reports require extensive searching to create accurate reports. A mini-course on report customization would be beneficial.

“I have trained NextGen since 3005 I am currently train anyone that works in Medical Dental & Pharm”

Pros

The flow of the system starting from the upper left and progressing to the right and down is intuitive and logical. Each tab corresponds to a specific position enhancing efficiency.

Cons

Inconsistent naming and functionality of buttons and functions confuse new employees learning the software.

“Using for 6 years”

Pros

The system offers extensive customization options for templates which is particularly beneficial for providers in Family Practice.

Cons

Additional expenses are incurred for add-ons to accommodate practice needs.

“Plenty of options. Customization is better in theory than in practice.”

Pros

The ability to create and customize templates based on end-user requests is appreciated although it requires ongoing maintenance. This customization is vital for our business.

Many tools and add-ons come from third-party applications instead of direct integration into the software.

“Good experience overall”

The new workflow inbox has an updated and improved appearance. Customer support is generally responsive and efficient.

KBM templates have an outdated look and feel and some documents and templates load slowly. The upgrade process can be complicated.

“Good soft ware that has a great deal of potential but work flow is illogical and too many clicks.”

Pros

NextGen is a reliable software with great potential. However better presentation to clients during the initial training and follow-up after three months of use would be beneficial.
