NextGen® Practice Management Solutions vs. Opus EHR

To start, Nextgen PM is NOT well-suited for companies who are looking for a could-based product—you will be required to house this software on your own server (this will force that company to maintain their own infrastructure). The solution is great for a company looking for a PM/EHR combo that communicates well with each other. The two modules are owned by the same company and does not require a costly API/bridge to be built between the two programs.

A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

As I said before, I couldn't see a lot of the features being good for someone who just runs their own single private practice (just themselves). The biggest feature for me is the ability to "oversee" all documentation as it's completed, and to be able to make sure we are "covered" in every area that documentation serves

• 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.

• Ease of Use
• Costs are obvious and transparent
• Expanded Features not included in most EHR
• Artificial Intelligence tools speed up clinical documentation
• Organization for Directors/Supervisors
• A "fair" contract (no scary, hidden stipulations

• 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.

• Their initial walk through/demo - It's overwhelming
• Not everyone will know how to use it right away like other larger EHR's. There is a small learning curve
• Not great for single therapists, best for small-medium-medium large facilities

NextGen was more scattered and less streamlined than either Allscripts or EPIC

I just felt it was a good balance of being "down to earth" but extremely capable. It seemed like a product designed from the ground up, from people who have actually dealt with the challenges of using technology within a facility, rather than from a computer expert who tried to learn about our application and apply typical solutions that don't work as well as they thought

• 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.

• Quality outcomes measurement for insurance rate increases
• Therapists that are great with clients, are also now great with documentation (AI tool)
• I don't have to "hunt" through documentation to make sure everything is completed on time.
• I don't have to explain a bunch of hidden costs to our executive team.
