    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.

    PrimeSuite is great for a practice that has knowledgeable billing staff and a hands-on approach to billing; it is not ideal for those who need something more automated. You can customize PrimeSuite to prevent posting errors at charge entry and to catch some common mistakes. However, these must be set up by someone who knows what those errors are, and as payers change their requirements, they must be updated.

    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.

    • Speed, it continues getting slower and slower with each new upgrade.
    • Prime Suite does not use the screen space very effectively. On larger monitors with higher resolution, there is a LOT of wasted space.
    • Strange errors pop up that give little to no useful information about what the issue is, and the typical response from support is to uninstall and reinstall the programs on the workstation.

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

    I liked PracticeAdmin for the way it showed key metrics and the simplicity of the software. However, you get what you pay for, and PrimeSuite has so much more functionality than PracticeAdmin ever did. I prefer the reporting, the options available in setup, just the overall customization you can do with PrimeSuite to that of other platforms.

    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.
