athenahealth is a leading provider of cloud-based business and clinical services for physician practices. The Company's service offerings are based on proprietary web-native practice management, electronic health record (EHR) software, a continuously updated payer knowledge-base and integrated back-office service operations. The company was founded in 1997 in San Diego, California by Jonathan Bush and Todd Park, and today is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, with operational sites in Belfast, Maine; Rome, Georgia; Alpharetta, Georgia; and Chennai, India.[1][2]

athenaClinicals, athenahealth's EHR, is a low-up-front-investment, high-return, web-based EHR designed to address the limitations of traditional EHRs [3]:

  • Offload paperwork and improve care through closed-loop order management.
  • Achieve compliance with “Meaningful Use” requirements and get guaranteed Federal HITECH Act incentives.
  • Stay on top of and enrolled in HITECH Act, Pay for Performance, and other incentive programs.
  • Enjoy flexible charting options – including voice recognition software – that ease your EHR adoption without slowing you down.
