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.

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 ...

You went to medical school to learn to treat patients, not to learn to code claims. In the latest episode of the athenahealth podcast, Dr. Nele Jessel walks through the Enhanced Diagnosis feature (now in testing, and coming to all athenaOne customers in 2025) that aims to reduce the administrative burden on clinicians at a time when value-based care programs require increased levels of specificity in clinical diagnoses.
Administrative burden is driving rampant clinician burnout. Value-based care programs are becoming more complex. Patients are demanding better tools to engage with their care team. In the latest episode of the athenahealth podcast, CEO Bob Segert provides his perspective on the rapidly changing healthcare industry – and how we plan to support you through these changes.

Learn more about what we have planned for Enhanced Self-Check-In workflows in the Summer 2024 Release in the newest episode of the athenahealth podcast.
