WHAT DOES NEXTGEN TOUT AS THEIR VALUE PROPOSITION?
NextGen EHR likes to sum it up in three words -“simple. smart. fast.” Plus, NextGen EHR pricing provides a ton of value.
Allowing small practices to stay solo, NextGen can give the support and regulatory know-how that is scalable for a practice to grow.
With vendor agnostic Mirth solutions, NextGen can help your practice meet its goals for interoperability. They say that interoperability is “baked into” their solutions. Seemingly going beyond just claiming interoperability like most EHR solutions, NextGen is completely transparent about its infrastructure and standards.
