At HIMSS 2024, athenahealth Unveils New Capabilities to Simplify the Practice of Care While Highlighting Payer Partnerships and Insights on AIathenahealth, a leading provider of network-enabled software and services for medical groups and health systems nationwide, will attend HIMSS to demonstrate various ways the company is curing complexity for healthcare practices through its technology, seamlessly integrated data, and deep partnerships. In addition to its physical footprint in booth 3740 and presence as an Anchor Exhibitor of the event, senior representatives from athenahealth will speak and present throughout HIMSS on a number of timely topics.
Experiential interoperability: Making health data actionable
"Healthcare does not have a data issue. It has an insights issue. At athenahealth we prioritize experiential interoperability, which recognizes it's not enough to just build connections between systems, but rather to identify the insights from the data and bring those insights to the care team at the right time," said Chad Dodd, VP of product management at athenahealth. "We are working to extract and seamlessly share the appropriate insights from the vast healthcare ecosystem with our physicians naturally in their workflow, so they can spend less time searching for information and more time caring for patients." athenahealth will highlight this focus area in the Interoperability Showcase [3760-40], demoing a new product feature called ChartSync that enables clinicians to seamlessly view patient data from multiple EHRs and other sources (i.e. vaccine registries) within the patient's chart. ChartSync consolidates, deduplicates, and transforms incoming data into a common format before surfacing it to physicians. The experience streamlines data integration into the chart through automation or quick review and manual reconciliation. It also makes it easy for the care team to understand when new data has been added and gain quick access to the source, for additional context. The feature is currently in Alpha and will be released later this year. athenahealth will also participate in an Interoperability Showcase demo [3760-93] as part of its commitment to CommonWell Health Alliance, a not-for-profit trade association devoted to health data access.
Realizing AI opportunities and ensuring they solve clinician needs
In athenahealth's session, "Demystifying AI in Healthcare: Practical Lessons for Successful Adoption and Provider Satisfaction," Dr. Nele Jessel, athenahealth's chief medical officer, and Heather Lane, senior architect, data science, will reveal lessons learned from the company's first decade deploying AI and machine learning models to wick away administrative work as well as prepare attendees for fielding generative AI models. The session will take place on Tuesday, March 12 at 3 pm ET (location: W304E). "While we've heard a lot of excitement around the potential of generative AI in healthcare, there's massive value in traditional AI yet to be realized in the technologies physicians and practices use daily," said Heather Lane. "We will share what we've learned throughout our extensive development and deployment of AI, including the critical need to center around physician and patient needs first. This is especially true when considering generative AI applications, which bring AI from behind the scenes to front and center in the user experience."
Simplifying the practice of care through partnerships
athenahealth and Surescripts will also unveil a case study detailing how the companies' partnership improves medication adherence and delivers cost savings for patients. Results from the case study show that athenahealth customers who used Surescripts' Real Time Prescription Benefit to choose a lower-cost alternative saved their patients over $1.8 million in prescription costs in 2023.
