Nextech

A pretty good app. Given that Nextech has overcome many obstacles to integrate the iPad app with the Windows OS program it is quite a feat. There are certain features that I truly enjoy about the app, but there are still some drawbacks. From my experience with the company, I know that Nextech will continue to work to improve the functionality. Below are some of the great uses for the app. 1. You can effortlessly take photos on the iPad and it will import directly into the patient’s record. This is a very nice feature. 2. Preview your previous notes whether they are scanned as a PDF or as a native Nextech note. 3. You can view labs as PDFs easily on the iPad. 4. The schedule is a nice feature to view where patients are in your rooms even though it does not have the full functionality of the room manager. That being said I feel it works well. I do not write notes on the app because I feel it takes too much time and effort, but I do feel that this is a vital tool to help utilize the full functionality of the Nextech software. I am glad I have purchased it and I am certain that it will continue to improve as they get more feedback.

I was so excited to get this on my iPhone, only to find out it’s just a glorified way to see my schedule. The patient phone number and pharmacy info would be an excellent help. I’m not going to create a to do list just to call a patient for follow up. I already know I call the patients day before and after procedures . I don’t need another thing to do. And what does it need access to my microphone for dictation? I haven’t seen anywhere to dictate a note. Frustrated Nurse Practitioner

iPad app is great but iPhone app is terrible it should do everything the iPad does so your truly mobile but it only gives you the schedule. Kind of a waste of time. They need to commit to making it like the iPad .., no reason not to!

This app has been invaluable for our practice when we implemented in the EMR. I do wish the schedule was visualized more like the desktop version however. It is good if you’re looking at a single provider, but when looking at multiple providers, it is unwieldy and not useful. I still have providers looking for their desktop in order to view the schedule, which is a hassle when you have only so many licenses.

This is a great application and a MUST HAVE for anyone using the Nextech software. Everyone of our providers and medical staff has an iPad with this application. From taking patient photos, review charts and noting in the room it just makes seeing patients so easy and fast! Without a doubt this is the greatest investment we made for our practice.
