Practices can automatically publish lab and imaging results received via interface, fax, Marketplace Partner APIs, and point-of-care tests to the Patient Portal. When that feature is enabled at the practice or department level, results tied to orders publish to the Patient Portal immediately upon receipt, prior to provider review. It’s a great tool to keep patients engaged with their healthcare and their care team, all while reduci...
The Summer 2025 Release takes place from July 23-25.

Curious about the real impact of AI in healthcare – and in athenaOne? In our latest episode of the athenahealth podcast, we’re joined by athenaClinicals vice president Chad Dodd and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nele Jessel for a discussion of how AI-driven tools are streamlining workflows, cutting documentation time, and supporting care teams in new ways. Explore the journey from cautious optimism to growing trust in AI – and see how ...
In a recent survey, 60% of patients said they preferred to book appointments themselves online, rather than calling their doctor's office -- just the same way they prefer to book dinner reservations online, rather than calling restaurants. Enabling patient self-scheduling can drive patient satisfaction and retention, and it can reduce staff work, too. In the latest episode of the athenahealth podcast, we're joined by the practice m...
May is Women’s Health Month! In the latest episode of the athenahealth podcast, we talk through significant evolutions in women’s health care in recent years, particularly the way patients are increasingly informed, engaged, and proactive in their care journey. We also touch on the way athenaOne workflows have evolved, and will continue to evolve, to best support a woman’s entire health journey, from adolescence to menopause and b...
Today we take a deep dive into click-saving tools available to clinicians in athenaOne – including order delegation, text macros, order sets, and saved findings. We find that users who are proficient with these tools tend to be more able to document patient visits as they go, rather than confronting a backlog outside of work hours.
Today's episode is presented by Affineon: https://marketplace.athenahealth.com/product/affineon-healt...
The faster you can get claims out the door, the faster you get paid – and when you use Automatic Claim Creation, those claims get out the door with fewer errors, too. In this episode, we look at the tools you have available in athenaOne to get clean claims created faster – including the Automatic Claim Creation feature that allowed a surgery practice in Texas to eliminate the charge entry they once had to outsource.

As part of the Spring 2025 Release, we're introducing ChartSync, a new feature that enables clinicians to view data from external sources globally connected to athenaOne and, through automation or with a single click, easily add relevant information into the patient's chart -- translating external data into actionable insights for clinicians at the point of care. You'll see ChartSync in athenaOne for medication fill history in the ...
We hear over and over from clinicians that they got into medicine to work with patients, not to work through tasks or messages in their Clinical Inbox – and yet an enormous amount of time each day and each week often winds up being devoted to those administrative tasks. While we can’t fully eliminate administrative task work, we at athenahealth are working every day to make it easier to navigate, delegate, and complete those tasks ...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
