athenahealth, a leading provider of network-enabled software and services for health care practices and systems nationwide, today introduced athenaOne for Orthopedics, a comprehensive EHR, revenue and practice management, and patient engagement solution tailored to the unique needs of orthopedists and their practices. As a trusted partner to thousands of orthopedic providers, athenahealth is expanding its investment in the specialty of orthopedics to provide a solution that enables orthopedists to provide high-quality, personalized care while optimizing practice efficiency and financial performance.
“There is no one-size-fits-all approach to how physicians work, and we appreciate that athenahealth understands the dynamics of our specialty and has developed athenaOne for Orthopedics based on customer feedback to create something that truly speaks to our needs,” said Anthony Brooks, chief executive officer at OrthoLoneStar. “Orthopedics is a highly competitive field, and it is important for us to have access to the latest technology, tools, and resources so that we can remain focused on running a profitable practice that delivers high-quality care to our patients. athenahealth has been a vital partner in improving our practice’s efficiency, and we look forward to the continued investments in athenaOne for Orthopedics to further support orthopedists and enhance the quality of life for our patients.”
Orthopedists often balance their time between routine office visits and performing surgeries, so it is critical to have a comprehensive solution and workflows that are tailored to their specific needs.
“Given the dynamic nature of orthopedic practices, athenaOne for Orthopedics has been tailored to truly meet the unique needs of orthopedists with ongoing investments aimed at enhancing efficiencies, cultivating patient engagement, and optimizing financial performance, factors vital to a successful, high-performing orthopedic practice,” said Chad Dodd, vice president of product management at athenahealth.
Key features of athenaOne for Orthopedics are designed to address the needs of orthopedic providers including:
Hands free and on-the-go documenting capabilities:
Busy clinic days in orthopedic practices see high patient volumes, so documenting encounters must be quick and intuitive to stay on schedule. Ambient listening tools are essential for orthopedic providers and with athenahealth’s Ambient Notes solution, ambient listening will integrate directly into the athenaOne workflow, simplifying documentation for clinicians.
Additionally, providers have added flexibility by accessing athenaOne on-the-go through athenaOne Mobile, equipped with orthopedic-specific in-office workflows. Available on iOS and Android for a consistent experience across devices, providers can conveniently document visits and access patient information on the go.
Maximize financial performance:
Orthopedic practices treat and therefore bill for complex medical services and surgeries, many of which require authorizations from varying places of services, create large claim volumes, and involve billing outside traditional payers. athenaOne for Orthopedics streamlines authorizations and provides robust billing workflows to help practices optimize financial performance and navigate the intricate reimbursement landscape.
Dedicated support:
Knowing that orthopedic practices require specialized support, athenaOne for Orthopedics offers practices dedicated onboarding and customer success teams that have deep expertise in orthopedics. The multi-layered customer success model of athenaOne for Orthopedics ensures practices of all sizes receive tailored assistance and achieve their practice goals.
