    I recently had 3 claims that I kept getting rejected through the clearinghouse. I called customer support and was able to get real time help same work day. I was able to set up zoom call and share screen and was walked through all the ways that could be causing problem. Guided me through how to correct problem and gave me more confidence to do it next time solo

    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.

    Pros
    Alora
    • One on one training even after the live training is completed, if needed.
    • Provides real time information, rather than having to sync information over several times a day.
    • It is very customizable for each agency.

    • it is easy to create an appointment for a patient. The system is easy to use. It can easily show you when the next appoint is and also has pop up system alerts that the staff can view as to any special things that may need to be done before that appointment is created
    • Adding charges from an encounter is effortless, creates the claim and is sent to the clearing house and onto the payer. This process is all documented
    • one of the best features I like is that in the background is that NextGen documents every user's actions as to what is being done to the patient's chart. As a manager I can view what has happen over time with the patient's chart and easily repair what's needed

    Cons
    Alora
    • A plan for next visit feature would be nice
    • The wounds charted from SOC to role over into the first visit note rather then adding it back

    • NextGen completely misses the mark for ASCs, especially multispecialty.
    • NextGen EHR constantly struggles with UDS reporting based on the EHR documentation.
    • NextGen EHR struggles to compete because of automation. Most practices want to be dexterous, but it's not sustainable as we look to AI and automation.

    Usability
    Alora
    Alora Home Health Software is overall the best and the most user-friendly software I have used in a really long time. Everything is just a simple click or touch of a button. The best part is if I don't know what to click I can always call the Alora Home Health Software customer service team, and with a smile they will walk you through what to click and enter in to help keep your company up and running.

    I gave this rating because it is truly a system that flows data extremely well within the NextGen ecosystem. Many times you will find systems that do not want to talk to each other from a data perspective, let alone from a capabilities lens. NextGen Healthcare EHR delivers on this data flow without aggregation to where you are deciding on what not to bring into the chart rather than worrying if it is in available.

    Pages load quickly and reports are uploaded quickly. It just takes far too many clicks to get anything complete in this program. If a patient wants to pay for something after we have checked them out of their appointment, or wants to make an appointment it is not efficient. In a busy practice like ours efficiency is key and we need to keep the flow going

    Tier 1 support is useless. They gather details we've already provided and have no idea how to help us. Techs just call rather than scheduling an appointment which means we are in the middle of something else and our internal IT is unavailable to provide appropriate connection. Webex details aren't provided in advance of the call so it's difficult to get connected timely to have a conversation in real time during the support session. Many issues drag on for months and tickets get closed without resolution. It's a "known issue" is the most unhelpful response to a recurring problem. UGM Learning Lab is perfect because the issues based experts are there! It would be ideal to always be connected like that in real time

    NG is like no other software I have ever used. I thought if you used one software they are all alike. Not this software, it is totally different but let me tell you very thorough and it also can track anything that anyone has done in a work day. Good auditing system.

    • We are not yet billing as we are waiting on initial Medicare survey. We look forward to billing and getting away from pro bono in the very near future.

    • While in some cases, NextGen Healthcare EHR improves efficiency, most practices are not able to reduce staff, they usually have to actually have .5-1 more employees per physician or midlevel provider. These employee roles change and shift throughout the implementation and into the adaptation process. Those staff generally slowly transition to where they are needed next.
