athenaClinicals vs. athenaOne

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.

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.

• 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

• Very easy to keep track of quality measures.
• Easy to track suspect conditions, care gaps.
• Easy to review performance of providers across the whole organization.

• 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

• At this point I can not think of anything that I am missing.

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.
