athenaClinicals vs. RXNT

athenaClinicals is well suited from a single physician office to an enterprise healthcare system. The only specialty that they cannot cover is oncology that includes chemotherapy infusions (the dosing is very complicated and requires a specific oncology system).

I believe it is best suited for organizations that wish to utilize all of the available tools within the system. I do not believe it is well suited for organizations that lack a deep understanding of the revenue cycle process or individuals who try to cut corners in managing accounts receivables. It works extraordinarily well in situations where one will take the time to set up all the available tools, test them, and make them part of their workflow.

• Athena is able to create a medication list from the patient's pharmacy purchase history. This aides in compiling a comprehensive list quickly, especially when the patients do not know what meds they are on. The downside to this module is that every time that you add a medication that is not on the list, it turns it into an order that the provider needs to sign. There are many times that you need to make an addition, that the provider does not want to sign as an order.
• The patient history module is easy to configure to meet the needs of the organization.

• Patient portal, communications with patients and an easy to use platform for communciation.
• Auto posting features and claim scrubbing tools.
• Claim management and the ability to easily work to correct claims errors, rejections, and denials.
• Easy customizable reporting tools for administrative analysis on our perfromance.

• 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.

• The ads are very annoying and distracting. I would like to see these removed.
• Sometimes when using the prescribing feature, the list of meds is unscrollable. This is likely a glitch that could be fixed.
• Same thing after choosing a pharmacy. The preview page of Rx is unscrollable, making it impossible to see all of them. Would like to see this fixed as well.
• Would like to be able to add more templates under the macros but it is not clear how to do this.

This is exactly what we needed and I can’t think of of another system that can give us better service and customer support for a better price.

Overall the system is good. Actually, this was supposed to be the universal EMR when it came out during the Bush administration.

Having used other systems, there are still items I would like to see added to this platform. Additional forms, understanding of how to load those forms into the system. Ability for clients to access those forms. And the ability to upload forms that are coming in externally. This would be helpful.

Greenway was absolutely horrible. Not intuitive, no right-click functionality, poor integration, and flexibility. athenaClinicals surpasses it in every aspect.

WoundExpert was well suited to wound healing and hyperbaric medical practices. If athenaClinicals had the right forms and ability to accommodate wound care and HBO workflows, it would be a good competitor.

RXNT offers better quality and more customization for the cost. Valant was very expensive regardless if you wanted a few features or the entire EHR. eClinical Works is easy to duplicate records but then it can take a while to update with current information. And their updated version...you might need a magnifying glass especially if you are using on a laptop. I love the larger font and overall appeal of RXNT much better

It fits our needs perfectly

• I've only been using for 2 mo so I can't answer this quite yet.
• I do know that the cost is much more affordable and an excellent value for the cost.
• I am a single provider practice so I have had to learn the admin side and the provider side which has been a challenge at times.
