athenaClinicals vs. Epic EpicCare EMR

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.

Best for any medical clinic that is connected to a major medical center. Not good for stand-alone clinics or an EMR system in Spanish.

• 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

• One centralized location for medical records review, retrieval, additions/updates, etc.
• User-friendly application.
• Well know in the field, therefore training is easier than with a foreign (unknown) system.

• 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

• Med Order simplification.
• Easy workflow.
• AI prediction.

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.

The Company normally responds to most requests. At times, however, the response times are longer than expected.

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

Better integration and workflow with multidisciplinary clinics. More hospitals have EPIC. Mobile use is easy - more platforms allow us to access data.

• I am not up to speed on the ROI for the product.
• The product is average in terms of what it provides our organization.
