Aaniie Care vs. athenaClinicals

I am not able to think of a scenario where Smartcare Software is less appropriate. All the scenarios that we use it for are appropriate and well-suited. We are very pleased with its user-friendliness, functionality and versatility and it allows us to function better and more efficiently than we would without it

Works well for family med and peds primary care. Would not be well suited to wound healing/hyperbaric medicine practice in current configuration as the specific documentation requirements of wound management and hyperbaric treatments don't mesh well with the layout and forms that I observed.

Incentivized

• Scheduling
• Communication
• HR records
• Client information and management
• Notifications and alerts
• Billing and invoicing

Incentivized

• Quality programs - able to see what measures are outstanding for the patient
• Reporting - able to report on multiple financial reports as well as clinical information
• Standardization of clinical information - the system forces users within the same specialty to use the same templates (as a starting point), therefore it is easier to standardize protocols and treatments of care

Incentivized

• Sometimes takes a long time to load
• GPS not always accurate when recording clock-in location
• Give us the option to show or hide client's phone number from caregiver shift reminder email
• Provide the ability to tell when a message has been seen on the desktop version, just as we can in the app version
• Update tutorials and training videos to keep up with the upgrades

Incentivized

• The schedule needs to be improved. You should be able to see the schedule in a day, a week , in a month view and be able to schedule directly from the schedule.
• It's difficult to name items because they are traditionally corrected very quickly

Overall the system is good. Actually, this was supposed to be the universal EMR when it came out during the Bush administration.

They are always there. Friendly and organized.

There are a lot of software programs out there that do the same or similar things, but we chose Smartcare Software because it was good value for money. All the functionality it offers address the elements of our business that allow us to be more efficient. It is user friendly and the support is prompt and knowledgeable

For a surgery center application, it is much better to use a system that is uniquely designed for surgery centers. Using Athena as a less than desirable work around has been a frustrating experience.

Incentivized

• Time saved with pre-packaged reports
• Real-time alerts/notifications that allow us to be proactive and not reactive
• HR functions increase productivity and efficiency
