    Aprima is particularly well suited for the primary care provider, however, Aprima has developed excellent content for most specialty care offices as well. Specifically, OB/GYN, Orthopedics and Internal Medicine and its sub-specialties such as Gastroenterology and Cardiology can be easily managed with Aprima. Perhaps Aprima's greatest strength is its organization's commitment to content development. Look for greater and greater things from Aprima!

    The best scenario is a small non-profit clinic who needs a great EMR but cannot afford one like EPIC. I might also recommend this to colleagues who are starting a small business because I think PF would be a good, easy, and more affordable to get up and running. I think this EMR makes less sense in the setting of large academic institutions who need lots of easily manipulable data and a huge amount of support.

    • Document storage- You can upload documents and attach them to specific patients. As well as flag documents that need to be signed, and assign them to specific doctors.
    • Charting- Very detailed integration for charting.
    • Reporting- We really enjoy the reports we can pull from within the software.

    • The scheduling component could be improved to be more efficient in managing double booked and overlaying appointments.

    • Have Physician Assistant as a provider status.
    • Make the notes section of each patients account displays towards the top of page and not the bottom.

    In my opinion and experience, they have a lack of customization so you have to constantly create hacks to make their system work for your practice.

    NextGen is hard to use as far as medical records. Practice Fusion is user friendly. There is a great knowledge base for questions asked. Practice Fusion takes all the guess work out of the day.
