Functionality: Athena provides medical practices with all of the functionality that they need, as noted by slightly more than 75% of reviews.

System Downtime: Of the users who discussed the solution’s accessibility, 60% noted that they had not experienced any significant system downtime and felt that they were always able to access functionalities when they wanted to.

Cons

Claims: While the claims scrubbing feature was praised by users, nearly 70% of reviewers felt that this feature noted that the language used for claims is difficult to interpret, clearing claims can be challenging and users felt that they did not receive satisfactory support when they reached out for help in regards to this feature.
Cost: Though only mentioned by approximately 10% of reviewers, the high price of the system was a detriment of the platform, as reported by 80% of users who discuss price in their review.
Accuracy: Some reviewers noted that they had difficulty entering or searching for their data within the platform as well as found inconsistencies within their records, as reported by 60% of users who mentioned Athena’s accuracy.
Suggestions: Users can make suggestions about changes they’d like to see within the system on a community forum, however, nearly 70% of reviewers who mention this capability felt that the suggestions of larger companies were unfairly prioritized over the suggestions of everyone else.

Researcher's Summary:

Athena offers robust functionalities that streamline many daily tasks for care providers. Many users felt that the system offered all of the functionalities they were looking for and felt that the interface was easy to navigate and did not experience system downtime. Users also felt that customer support was able to address most of their concerns at a satisfactory level. However, some users felt that the claims functionality was unsatisfactory and recognized that the system couldn’t make their desired customizations. Users also noticed inaccuracies in their data, but many were unable to determine if this was a result of the system storing information incorrectly or the result of users experiencing difficulty navigating the platform. The high price of this system may be cost prohibitive as this system is best suited for smaller practices that won’t need to provide multiple care providers with access to the system.

Testimonials

We've gotten 40 hours a week back. We repurposed those hours to higher-value work, like improving the patient experience.

If you're considering switching to athenaOne, my advice would be to just do it.

Medical care is so complex that one person can't do it all. But we try to do it all ourselves. With the support of athena's EHR and a team-based approach, we've been able to come together to care for our patients. I feel like I'm getting my life back.
