User Testimonials
	Buzz Communication & Collaboration Platform	NextGen® Practice Management Solutions
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	It's better than paper charting but it is still tedious and not efficient. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Ability to save favorite phrases and templates to make charting more efficient for providers. Ability to interface with Question Diagnostics for certain laboratory tests. Ability to send and receive tasks to other user(s) on the system as well as send future tasks and reminders to yourself. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	The software requires annoying/disruptive updates. The software is housed on our own server. We have found that cloud-based solutions are much more convenient. At times, the system is a bit "slow." The canned reporting/BI tool is not as malleable as many of the other solutions we have used and/or trialed. We were able to achieve cost-savings through some other systems. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	We feel that Nextgen does not stack up very well against the cloud-based software on the market. Housing the underlying tables on your own hardware requires COSTLY man hours. We are in the business of providing health care services to patients, not database administration. Introducing cloud-based products has had a tremendously positive effect on our business. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Nextgen did a good job of transitioning our practice away from paper health records. I believe that the Return on Investment would have been much higher had we gone straight to a cloud-based tool. By getting our feet wet with Nextgen, we have a pretty good understanding of Practice Management software. In other words, we could plug and play with most systems on the market.
