Overall Satisfaction with athenaClinicals
- Templates are widely available for most specialties. They are easy to use and modifiable.
- Movement through the clinical exam is expedited with the interview and template. PFSH remains constant on the record.
- Records sent to other providers contain concise and easy to read notes.
- The cost is very high compared to other programs.
- Some people find the program difficult to learn.
- The billing software requires more work than is described when they are trying to sell you the program.
- The sales staff that we dealt with had the vibe of car salesmen. At times very pushy and the room for negotiation grew at each interaction. The high cost first quoted is very negotiable but they "up charge" for many things.
I was not the one that selected the program but we all voted as a group and the CEO made the decision. We actually voted to do more research because of the expense of the program.
It is easy to use and to learn with many available templates. We are in psychiatry and there were not initially a great deal of templates but there are now. All in all it is a good program but expensive.
