NexHealth is a patient engagement platform for dental and medical practices connecting patients, doctors, and developers to accelerate healthcare innovation. The platform fully integrates with EHR systems to provide convenience and simplicity for a patient's booking journey.
[Dentrix is] well suited for a busy practice like my own. Does require a significant up front investment. It was already in place when I purchased the practice from the previous owner. May not be suited for a smaller practice that would not find value in the upfront costs associated with it.
Dental offices needing to scale down the many services they use would be a perfect fit. I think any medical facility would use Nexhealth and love it! A situation where a doctor is looking to expand their online presence is also a great opportunity for Nexhealth. We have gotten 100s of new Google reviews, but the great thing is they are all 5 star. We used Swell and granted, Swell gets a higher review count, but Nexhealth is pretty good!
Easy to look up, edit, delete, break and make appointments. This is great when you're on the phone with someone and are able to quickly locate them in the system and see what appointments they have.
Easily make changes to providers information, colors or schedules. This is nice because we tend to have fill in hygienists and we can change their colors so it will not indicate the same colors as are our normal staff.
Easily print reports and deposits from the office manager. This helps us keep track of new patients, aging reports, unscheduled appointments, unscheduled treatment, continuing care appointments and so much more.
We have used Dentrix support and they seem to be helpful. We are able to schedule meetings as needed within a short time frame, and are usually able to resolve any issues we may have within 1 or 2 calls. There doesn't seem to be as strong of a user community around Dentrix as there is with Epic.
I used Patterson's EagleSoft in a limited capacity at a previous health center job. On the back end, EagleSoft was easier to setup, install, and manage than Dentrix. Backing up data files, migrating servers, was easier (but slower) on EagleSoft than on Dentrix. Dentrix appears to have a greater feature capability/set than EagleSoft does. Both have excellent technical support that is responsive, indepth, and well suited to address IT related problems with both EMR systems.
Nexhealth is superior because it is more advanced in customization than all of the above. We have had a few issues with syncing and I don't want practices to overlook this. The program is not 100% foolproof.
