athenaClinicals EMR Software

athenahealth has grown rapidly to become perhaps the leading Cloud-based, ambulatory care service provider. Moreover, the company has carved out a unique position in the market by leveraging the Cloud model to provide a compelling combination of software and services. For example, the company’s back-office services are delivered by a large team of revenue cycle management and clinical specialists who assist providers in managing paperwork and collections processes, as well as manage the reporting and tracking requirements for various government incentive programs.

athenaClinicals is the company’s electronic health record (EHR) system, which can be deployed on a standalone basis or used seamlessly with athenaCollector, the company’s practice management system. athenaClinicals has received ONC-ATBC 2011/2012 Certification and athenaHealth is even offering a guarantee that eligible physicians using athenaClinicals will receive meaningful use stimulus payments.

athenaClinicals’ Cloud-based architecture provide a number of compelling benefits. For example, practices using athenaClinicals do not have to buy or maintain servers, or manage upgrades. athenahealth hosts all software and data in their secure data centers and users access the system via web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari). Meanwhile the centralized nature of the Cloud model allows athenahealth to maintain one centralized rules database for clinical guidelines, payer requirements, and government incentive programs. The same applies to interoperability; connectivity to laboratories, pharmacies, hospitals and health information exchanges are all developed and managed centrally by athenahealth.
