SOAP Note Buddy Works Seamlessly with NextGen Healthcare
NextGen Healthcare is a leading EHR and practice management vendor serving ambulatory practices across the United States. It's particularly popular with specialty practices, community health centers, and multi-site medical groups.
SOAP Note Buddy is a Chrome extension that works alongside NextGen to automate your clinical documentation. While NextGen handles scheduling, billing, and patient management, SOAP Note Buddy adds AI-powered note generation that fills your progress notes, HPI, assessments, and plans automatically.
SOAP Note Buddy works as a browser extension - if NextGen runs in Chrome, we can detect and fill its fields. No API setup, no IT tickets, no waiting for approvals.
How SOAP Note Buddy Works with NextGen
SOAP Note Buddy integrates with NextGen through intelligent browser-based field detection. Here's the process:
Install the Chrome Extension
Add SOAP Note Buddy to Chrome in under 30 seconds from the Chrome Web Store. No downloads, no IT tickets, no approval process.
Add Your Patient Context
Enter the patient's clinical context - diagnosis, history, chief complaint, and relevant information. This data stays on your device and is never stored on external servers.
Open NextGen in Your Browser
Navigate to your patient's chart in NextGen. SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects documentation fields - progress notes, HPI, assessments, plans, and more.
Click Generate
With one click, AI generates clinically appropriate content and fills your NextGen fields directly. Review, adjust as needed, and sign your note.
Prefer to dictate? Use our iOS/Android apps to record patient encounters, then generate notes from the transcription. Or skip voice entirely and use text-based workflow - your choice.

NextGen Users Save Hours Every Day
"Our cardiology practice uses NextGen and documentation was always a struggle. Detailed cardiology notes take forever to write. SOAP Note Buddy understands the specialty documentation we need and generates appropriate content. I've cut my note time by at least 70% and the quality is actually better because I'm not rushing."
At 15 patients/day, saving 10 minutes per note = 2.5+ hours per day
