    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.

    Cons
    NextGen Healthcare
    • 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.

    UpToDate provides evidence-based, currently relevant medical information in an easy and clear method. The software has directly helped me stay up to date in medical treatments and new information on etiology of diseases. This information has directly and positively improved my care and treatments for various musculoskeletal conditions and diseases.

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

    UpToDate offers a much more comprehensive tool when compared with Epocrates. Although both provide good drug references UpToDate goes far beyond the Epocrates tool in terms of clinical disease diagnostic data.

    Return on Investment
    NextGen Healthcare
    • 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.
