performance and outcomes
athenahealth, Inc., a leading provider of network-enabled
software and services for medical groups and health systems
nationwide, today announced that Prime HealthCare, PC, a leading
Hartford, CT-based multispecialty medical group, selected
athenahealth’s comprehensive electronic health record (EHR),
revenue cycle management (RCM), and patient engagement solution,
transitioning from their previous vendor, to drive the next
generation of the organization’s evolution.
When faced with a mandatory shift to a new EHR instance by its
health system partner, Prime turned to athenahealth to gain the
freedom needed to improve business performance as it wished.
athenaOne® provides the actionable insights, integrated
capabilities, flexibility, and interoperability Prime needs to
continue providing quality care to patients across central
Connecticut.
“Both Prime HealthCare and athenahealth are passionate about
helping practices maintain their independence and continuing to
make a difference in our communities while realizing our business
goals and solving the complexity of an evolving care and
reimbursement landscape,” said Susan Albano, CEO of Prime
HealthCare, PC. “athenahealth will fortify Prime for exponential
growth and give us the intelligence, freedom, and control we need
to make care decisions, enhance our business, and succeed in
value-based care.”
One of the key factors driving Prime’s decision to transition to
athenahealth was the need for seamless, intuitive interoperability
with neighboring hospitals and health systems on varying EHR
systems. This experiential, actionable visibility across care
settings is crucial to ensure that independent physicians within
Prime have a comprehensive view of their patients’ medical history
at the point of care. athenahealth’s advanced and interconnected
network effortlessly integrates patient data from external sources
into the workflow, giving Prime physicians access to the relevant
information they need, regardless of where their patients have
previously received care.
“User and expert references, coupled with athenahealth’s
reputation as a market leader for private practices, made us
confident moving forward with their solution,” added Albano. “We
are looking forward to using athenaOne’s enhanced, integrated
capabilities – such as outbound patient messaging, reporting and
insights, voice, telehealth, and authorization management services
– to achieve maximum efficiencies and grow our foothold in
value-based care. We are also excited about the benefits of their
connected, open ecosystem.”
Prime selected athenahealth so the practice’s administrative
staff will have the intelligence necessary to improve business
performance and outcomes through customized reporting. With
insights from more than 150,000 providers on the athenahealth
network, and access to powerful reporting and benchmarking tools,
Prime HealthCare will have instant visibility into its financial
performance to gain actionable guidance critical for improving
business operations.
“The ability to not just survive, but to thrive as an
independent practice has become increasingly difficult in today’s
incredibly complex environment,” said Bret Connor, chief operating
officer for athenahealth. “athenahealth is, at our core, an
outcomes company for our customers. We are squarely focused on
helping organizations like Prime solve for that complexity and
ensure financial performance and stability while embracing the risk
inherent in value-based care. That means equipping them with true
interoperability between health IT systems across the
ecosystem.”
athenaOne will provide the seamless exchange of data, right
workflows, data insights, and capabilities, to help Prime
HealthCare tailor targeted patient outreach, coordinate care,
reduce administrative burden, measure and optimize performance, and
drive better outcomes.
