WATERTOWN, Mass., Feb. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHN), a leading provider of network-enabled services and
point-of-care mobile applications for hospital and ambulatory clients nationwide, today announced its performance assessment tool
for healthcare organizations will be unveiled at the 2017 HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition (HIMSS17), February
19-23 in Orlando, Florida. The application leverages data from thousands of high-performing physicians across
athenahealth’s national network to evaluate an organization’s performance against key indicators associated with best-in-breed
clinical and financial outcomes.
Through interaction with the tool at athenahealth’s booth (#3743), HIMSS17 attendees will gain actionable,
vendor-agnostic insight and guidance to drive better bottom-line results.
“Thanks to the breadth of our national network, we can deliver unprecedented visibility into what drives clinical
and financial performance. We know what’s working and what isn’t for our nearly 88,000 provider clients, and we want others to know
what athena knows,” said Jonathan Bush, chief executive officer at athenahealth. “Our mission is to equip providers with insight
and clinical information while taking away unnecessary work. Traditional software cannot optimize the business of healthcare, or
serve the needs of providers and patients in the way a network can. We’re bringing this to life at HIMSS.”
In addition to the performance tool, athenahealth’s booth (#3743) will feature:
Onsite Presentations
Dr. Todd Rothenhaus, chief medical officer at athenahealth, and Paul Shenenberger, chief information officer at
Summit Medical Group, will discuss the business case for portal adoption during a joint talk, “Patient Engagement and Financial
Health: A Roadmap,” scheduled for February 22, 11:30am-12:30pm.
athenahealth’s booth (#3837) will feature intimate fireside chats with enterprise clients and industry influencers.
Topics will range from leadership lessons, to experiences on the athenahealth network, and will cover physician engagement,
data-driven performance, and more. Full schedule as follows:
