Home Forums Discussions General Discussion NEXTGEN to Amazing Charts conversion

Ok, we are a small pratice and we are getting rid of the big ol' giant NextGen and moving to this program... which appears to do everything we need!

My question is, is there anyone out there that successfully migrated their data from NextGen to Amazing Charts?

Thanks in advance!

Wow, big step! Congrats on the move to Amazing Charts... Which version of NextGen were you on?

The only people that I've heard of moving from NextGen were people who could only port their demographics over. They were stuck with "paper printouts" of the old charts. Others have started out "fresh" with blank charts and just summarizing the old information.

I suggest if summarizing to a new chart is not possible then printing to PDF format from NextGen using a virtual printer then transferring them to Amazing Charts that way.

I tell this to every doc who signs up with a EMR company... have an exit strategy written into your contract. You must have your data ported out to a format of your choosing FREE or predefined cost -- not hourly, etc.

I'm curious. (We all hope that we can take our beloved Amazingcharts to the grave with us). But, do you have an exit strategy with Amazingcharts? How are you going to get your data ported out?

Welcom Tim:

I don't know answers to your questions. So I posed this at another website, here is what they say:

Well, fortunately, I will be provided *ALL* our previous EMR data (from NextGen), so we will not have an added expense. I just want to make sure I can get it all in there!

We are using the latest version of NextGen... but we do not own it, we are paying a site host......
