We love the enthusiasm and drive of the NextGen Healthcare community! We want to bring that passion into NextGen Healthcare Success Community Ideas by directly connecting the community to our product planning.
What is Ideas?
Ideas is a feedback platform powered by Salesforce. It is your site for sharing product ideas with NextGen Healthcare’s client community and product managers. Your ideas are an integral part of NextGen Healthcare’s release planning process that shapes the product roadmap. By casting your votes in Ideas, you get to influence the product roadmap by supporting the ideas that are most important to you.
Why is Ideas being reset?
Ideas was introduced to the NextGen Healthcare community in 2016. Since that time, the platform has accumulated ideas from hundreds of clients and 630 of those ideas have already been added to NextGen Healthcare products, with many others on our roadmap for future development. After five years of being in use and with thousands of ideas entered, NextGen Healthcare is finalizing plans to reset the overall program to ensure Ideas will thrive for years into the future.
Ready to help shape Ideas of the future?
Key to the success of the reset is a foundational exercise that shines a light on ideas that generated initial interest in the community but did not reach a high-point threshold. These ideas were submitted by clients in the 2017-2019 timeframe for the NextGen® Enterprise EHR, NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine and NextGen® Enterprise Patient Portal products and each accumulated 200–790* points.
This is where you come in—we would like your feedback on these ideas, to help us identify the most popular. Depending on the community’s enthusiasm for each, the idea will be either promoted for further internal review or archived.
Share, upvote, and prioritize
Voting is an easy, relatively quick process and there’s no need to research each idea. To get started, begin by browsing the list of submitted ideas. Then follow these simple steps to cast your vote:
- See one you like? Click the “promote” icon to upvote it.
- See an idea you don’t like? Click the “demote” icon to downvote it.
- See an idea you’re not familiar with? Simply move on to the next one.
Below are additional voting considerations:
- Upvoting and downvoting adds or decreases points for an idea. Points represent the popularity of an idea. Each vote is worth 10 points. Upvote an idea and you add 10 points to the score. Downvote an idea and you subtract 10 points from the score.
- Although you may vote for as many ideas as you want, you may cast only one vote per idea. Once you cast your vote, you can’t change it.
