Don’t Replace NextGen — Unleash It

Frustrated with clicks, crashes, and confusing workflows? The problem usually isn’t the software; it’s how it was built. We turn ‘broken’ implementations into high-performance engines with NextGen optimization.

Are you beyond frustrated with NextGen? Are you considering the costly transition to another EHR system? If so, know that you’re not actually frustrated with NextGen. You’re likely frustrated with NextGen’s implementation or outdated configurations. Meaning, the problem isn’t the software; it’s the setup. NextGen optimization is faster and cheaper than replacing it.

Now is the time to kickstart your EHR rescue plan and maximize your investment.

Here’s Why NextGen Isn’t the Issue

Is your practice or healthcare organization experiencing declining productivity, high staff burnout, or inefficient workflows? If this sounds familiar, you may be blaming your current NextGen setup, wondering why it’s hindering your clinical workflows instead of supporting them. However, NextGen isn’t the issue. 

There are many reasons why your NextGen EHR setup isn’t working for you. Perhaps you’re overdue for a workflow redesign. Ask yourself, when was the last time you updated your system? Are you using outdated templates? Do you find yourself spending far too much time on EHR tasks, needing to click too many times to complete them? Are you concerned that you’re missing revenue opportunities because of billing or charting errors?

Are You Taking Advantage of Customizations?

NextGen offers all the features and capabilities you need to ensure everyday success, which is why you must start analyzing your system's implementation and configuration. NextGen provides a comprehensive, cloud-based, and AI-forward suite of solutions designed to manage all aspects of a medical practice. Plus, you can customize workflows, dashboards, and templates. 

Take TempDev’s NextGen Order Management BI Dashboard, for example. This component of your NextGen EHR system will standardize your order management while setting your practice up for future clinical workflow success. And that’s just one example. From custom reports to revenue cycle dashboards and workflow optimization services, the key is to ensure you’re getting the most out of your NextGen system. TempDev can help you with your workflow redesign to remove pain points and reduce bottlenecks.

The EHR Repair Process: Areas You May Want to Reconfigure

Depending on your needs, you may want to start with these areas for reconfiguration or optimization:

• Template customization: By implementing tailored templates for your specialties, you can automatically display relevant orders and reduce clicks.

• Order management: Centralize orders to easily track missing labs or referrals. View open orders by type to track and take action in NextGen EHR.

• Workflow redesign: Optimize clinical and business processes to reduce clicks and manual steps, and enhance efficiency.

• Mobile utilization: Implement tools such as NextGen Mobile to improve access to patient data.

• Quality metric dashboards: Take advantage of customizable NextGen EHR/EPM Quality Metric Dashboards that monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) in real time, focusing on HEDIS, UDS, and MIPS. 

• AI and automation: Improve efficiency and reduce burnout with the latest technology. For example, ambient clinical documentation, intelligent patient scheduling, automated coding, and proactive, AI-driven patient outreach can all be addressed.

Get the Most Out of Your Current NextGen System with Optimization

A full system replacement is costly and highly disruptive. It also doesn’t guarantee that you won’t continue to experience barriers and bottlenecks. How your system is set up and how you use it matter most. 

To maximize your investment in NextGen, it’s recommended that you don’t replace it. Instead, focus on an EHR repair process. Some areas to consider include targeted optimization, template customization, and advanced features to streamline workflows and reduce clicks. 

To get the most out of your existing NextGen EHR and EPM systems, start by:

• Optimizing workflows and templates 

• Leveraging the latest advanced tools and features

• Maximizing revenue cycle management 

• Investing in continuous training and support
