    athenaCollector would be well suited for smaller practices. It is well suited for larger practices, however some turn around time/system maintenance becomes more challenging. The product is well suited for a fast paced work environment. Ease of use of the system makes it easy to navigate and not get lost.

    I'd highly recommend LigoLab for any lab environment looking to raise the efficiency of their daily workflow processes. A lot of other platforms require a bit of legwork to fit into a given workflow, but LigoLab is robust and adaptable with ample customer support that will allow you to find the most optimal solution to any issues you're facing. I would recommend it to any smaller lab focusing on anatomic pathology/molecular testing.

    Cons
    athenahealth
    • Reporting for payer contract variances is weak for an organization as large as ours.
    • Custom report development can get pricey and take some time to develop.
    • A few of the spin-off products, such as the Dashboards, are not as customizable as our organization had hoped they would be.

    • Further customizability of certain core sections to display more information would be useful. There are some times when my users would like to have certain features or implementations available, but due to the restrictive nature of core functionality, these aren't easily configured or possible at times.
    • Speed of platform. Due to how the program is implemented, booting it up can take some time on the user end though it is fine once someone enters the LIS environment. Ideally, we'd have faster load times for the program as that is the biggest complaint I receive from our doctors who use multiple systems on a daily basis.

    The ease of use is far superior than any other similar billing systems product I have used. Navigation throughout the system is very self explanatory. Training time on this system is 1-3 days depending on users role (prior to additional on the job training within the system specific to the users role). Other systems have had software training for a week or more.

    • Since we've implemented the platform we've been able to provide our services to more clients by presenting them with a highly functional reporting platform that will efficiently distribute finalized reports to them directly. The ease of access on the platform has made our workflows more efficient and allowed us to reduce turnaround time from receipt of a specimen to final report release.
