Hospital scope (Epic/Cerner better), enterprise practices ($50M+ revenue) wanting more modern alternatives (athenahealth/Epic), or buyers concerned about Thoma Bravo PE pattern.
Mid-market physician groups (25-500 physicians) wanting NextGen-anchored ambulatory workflow with broad specialty support.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from NextGen Healthcare’s product card in our Top 10 Healthcare EHR Software for 2026:
- ! Thoma Bravo PE pressure pattern (pricing escalations expected)
- ! Implementation 4-12 months
- ! Customer support variable
- ! AI features below Epic/athenahealth
- ! Recently-private roadmap uncertain
- ! Per-physician + module pricing complex
If NextGen Healthcare is wrong for you, consider these instead
