athenaClinicals vs. TherapyNotes

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.

TherapyNotes is ideal for any size practice with single or multiple providers/clinicians. Its scheduling, billing, EHR, and online portal are great for English speakers but not at all user-friendly to Spanish speakers. It is definitely affordable for a start-up practice and fees associated with merchant services are low compared to competitors.

• 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

• Connect with clients through the client portal and allows you to share documents.
• Submits claims to the insurance companies and connects with CAQH.
• Tech support is phenomenal.
• Free, secure telehealth platform.

• 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

• Spanish documents are not available. There is not a way to use Spanish documents that can be filled out online like the English documents; instead, the practice must upload a PDF into the Library, share with client via portal and have then print, fill out manually, and upload for organization review and approval.
• Sync feature from Client History Form is inconsistent. It may work with some clients but not with all. Sometimes the user has to completely log out and log back in in order to obtain partially parsed information to use in a treatment plan or psychotherapy note.

I am a creature of habit and other than some areas (Spanish user-friendliness), TherapyNotes fits the bill for what I'm looking for in an EHR

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.

It is easy to do, can be done overnight, and requires no special skill set or guidance from TherapyNotes

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.

Therapy notes is easier to work with across all domains. Faster and more effective when it comes to writing and entering notes

Incentivized

• Saves time specifically with entering notes which means I can spend more time seeing clients.
• Does not have the ability to enter dual caregivers. Challenging for parents who are divorced and signatures are required from both parents. It is not effective to have two separate portals for the same child.
