Compare EHR and PM Vendors

Less Time Charting. More Time With Patients.

For practices with fewer than 10 providers, every click matters. Greenway users often tell us documentation takes too long and workflows feel harder than they should be. NextGen Office offers ambient AI and smarter workflows to help clinicians finish notes during the visit—without adding complexity or changing how they practice.

NextGen is built to be intuitive, efficient, and easy to adopt, so you can focus on patient care instead of after-hours charting.
