NextGen® Ambulatory EHR has been strategically designed to be straightforward to
implement, quick to learn, and simple to use with intuitive, preference-based workflows.
1Is the EHR user-friendly enough so that
all of your physicians embrace it?
It’s not about IT, it never has been. It’s
about the user. The physicians live in the
EHR all day long. They love the clinical
content that NextGen provides and just
kind of fell in love with it. ”Donald Cope, Director of Information Systems

Where will your technology partner be in five, 10, or 15 years? We’ve been a strategic
partner with many of our clients for years, helping them grow their businesses year after year.
Does the EHR have a known track record in the industry?

The relationship with NextGen has been extraordinary. Without NextGen as a strategic partner – we would not be what we are today. They’ve helped us move from a four physician practice to almost 40; from 20 employees to 300; and from 10,000 patient encounters per year to almost 100,000.

With NextGen® solutions, each implementation plan is designed to fit your practice’s
schedule, resources, and needs. Our goal is to have you up and running with minimal
disruption and productivity loss.
4Do you worry about EHR implementation?
We phased in implementation so we
didn’t experience a reduction in patients
or interruption in cash. Our docs have
been able to implement the technology
to become more efficient with their time.
