User Testimonials
ChartLogic EMRNextGen Healthcare EHR
Likelihood to Recommend
ChartLogic is great for a practice that wants an EMR but doesn't want/need all the bells and whistles of a giant like Epic. It allows each individual doctor to create their own templates, smart fields and ways of seeing their messages, encounters etc so that while you have one EMR system each doctor can make it their own. Little to no computer experience or training needed to make things work easily.

Pros
  • Easy to customize - each doctor can create their own templates and how they like to see things.
  • Easy to use - quick and easy to learn how to use, very intuitive

  • NextGen has always stayed on top of the many changes every year and remained certified. I have seen many EHR companies go out of business or seen users have to change EHR systems in order to remain compliant for reporting.
  • With NextGen, I am able to make a few customizations that my providers ask for to make their documentation easier. Not all EHR's are customizable. While it is not best practice to do a lot of customizations, sometimes it is worth the extra work to keep your providers happy!
  • I love going to the NextGen User Group Meeting they have every year. I always learn things I didn't know and learn more about the things I do. They offer classes for everyone no matter what you do that pertains to NextGen. Even Government updates for healthcare.

Cons
  • Seems to usually be one extra unneeded "ok" button you have to click to make things save
  • Wish it had more reporting options

  • NextGen completely misses the mark for ASCs, especially multispecialty.
  • NextGen EHR constantly struggles with UDS reporting based on the EHR documentation.
  • NextGen EHR struggles to compete because of automation. Most practices want to be dexterous, but it's not sustainable as we look to AI and automation.

The usability of the product is great. The difficulty that we have is in the background with the speed of servers or of things loading. If there are any issues with the remote server, things can really slow down drastically.

Performance

Pages load quickly and reports are uploaded quickly. It just takes far too many clicks to get anything complete in this program. If a patient wants to pay for something after we have checked them out of their appointment, or wants to make an appointment it is not efficient. In a busy practice like ours efficiency is key and we need to keep the flow going

Support Rating

Tier 1 support is useless. They gather details we've already provided and have no idea how to help us. Techs just call rather than scheduling an appointment which means we are in the middle of something else and our internal IT is unavailable to provide appropriate connection. Webex details aren't provided in advance of the call so it's difficult to get connected timely to have a conversation in real time during the support session. Many issues drag on for months and tickets get closed without resolution. It's a "known issue" is the most unhelpful response to a recurring problem. UGM Learning Lab is perfect because the issues based experts are there! It would be ideal to always be connected like that in real time

Alternatives Considered
Haven't used many others but out of the ones I have used, it's the best and I definitely recommend it.

NextGen Healthcare EHR is much faster and more reliable than IMS. We no longer have constant issues with the system being down during clinic. It is also much easier to navigate and for new employees to learn. We did not have training options or knowledge base available in the previous system.

  • electronic payment posting has saved us many man hours each and every month
  • the ability to be able to code an encounter and upload to a clearing house in a matter of minutes has been a real time saver to our practice
  • one task that has saved us much time without error is the check in check out process
