Altera Sunrise EHR vs. athenaClinicals

This is well suited for small business needs where are only a handful of users need an EHR to perform their usual tasks such as patient charting etc. Allscripts Sunrise EHR can be challenging to use sometimes because of the slow processing speed, which may test your patience and can lead to frustration.

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.

• Create notes and prepare medical charts for patients
• Can easily create and modify templates
• Can create addendum to the notes

• 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

• Speed can be improved as I face lagging and freezing issues with it.
• Reviewing notes from older visits is a little tricky as it requires a lot of clicks.
• The size of the EHR screen is not well optimized with your computer screen, and hence the fonts look very small.

• 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.

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.
