Allscripts Professional EHR vs. athenaOne

Some of the key questions include functionality of the EHR in today's electronic marketplace. Also customer support ratings are important due to many ongoing difficulties previously experienced with older EHRs. Allscripts is well suited to the outpatient setting where many preformed templates provide a comprehensive overview of patients. Additionally, Allscripts' link with the imaging portal PACS is second to none.

Very well suited for outpatient multi-specialty clinics. May not be perfect for hospital based practices, but I am not in a position to say that with conviction as we are not hospital based organization.
