    athenahealth
    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.

    Cerner allows us to access and enter all the information that is needed to take care of the participants. It is not really geared for the research environment. There was a lot of customization that was needed to tailor it to our needs. There is turnover with staff in Cerner and when there were some downtimes Cerner staff did not know who to contact at our facility, eventhough the information was shared with them already.

    Pros
    athenahealth
    • 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

    Cons
    athenahealth
    • 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.

    There are times when it is very useful and yet there are times when it is more cumbersome than it has to be. The day to day operations are user friendly, but when there are upgrades there are times when it does not always work well for a small facility

    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.

    Cerner Millennium is a more established company and we wanted the confidence of a company that will have a very long shelf life. Now since it is part of Oracle Health, that confidence has been reinforced. The support system was greater from Cerner than it was from Evident and the larger staff gave us more reassurance to use it

    • Upkeep and maintenance costs are high.
    • For better performance and configuration options, it is cheaper than competitors.
