athenaClinicals vs. NueMD (discontinued)

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.

Once the initial transition was complete, the software has been easy to work with and efficient. Payments are coming in quickly and we can identify errors in billing before submission making the process smooth.

• 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

• Entering patient's information
• Creating Appointments
• Editing appointments

• 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

• Customer Service
• Batch Billing
• Modifying to fit particular needs

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.

Overall NUEMD is easy to use self explanatory and realtime helps alot when were are busy checking in patients, it gives you messages letting you know when something isnt right and that makes the claim we send out to the ins company cleaner to the return on payments from the ins co is better

• It makes it easier to train people on how to use due to it being simple
