Earlier this month we wrapped up our 3rd annual #Codefest, a week-long event that brings together athenista’s to channel our efforts into a single theme and solve a problem that we can quickly bring to market. This year’s focus was on social determinants of health, acknowledging their immense impact on patient health outcomes and aligning to our commitment to improving healthcare experiences. Keep an eye out for more to come! #Codefest #athenaculture #athenistas #innovation #athenahealth #healthcareIT

We are collaborating with industry group HL7 Da Vinci Project and its community of payers, vendors, and providers to help solve an industry-wide problem of missing remits. To date, retrieving missing remits from payers and clearinghouses creates an enormous amount of manual work for providers and vendors, and there aren’t many automated solutions available. To help solve this widespread issue, athenahealth has championed a FHIR API Implementation Guide to automate the process of retrieving missing remits, accelerate FHIR API adoption, and streamline API integration. Most recently, a big milestone was achieved as athenahealth and various payers/vendors tested the use case at the September HL7 Connectathon. The next big milestone involves balloting the IG, and reconciling the feedback to enable publishing with the goal of integrating with payers to reduce the burden associated with missing remits. This is a huge step forward for the industry and we are so excited to share this amazing progress. Big thanks to these athenistas leading the project: Naomi Miao, Evi (Radovani) Russo, Kendall Pletcher, Kunjan Mhaske, Bela Labovitch and more! #davinciproject #athenahealth #innovation #healthcare #healthcareIT

Can we move AI beyond initial hype to effect lasting change and cure the complexities of our healthcare system? Earlier this year, Our Chief Marketing Officer, Stacy Simpson, shared her perspective in Fast Company on AI's role in the patient-physician relationship and the four ways to ensure a better brand image—and better outcomes—as AI in healthcare gains traction: At athenahealth, we believe that AI can simplify the practice of care and enhance the patient-physician relationship. However, the success of AI in healthcare depends not only on technological advancements but also on effectively marketing its benefits to physicians and patients. Currently, AI in healthcare faces an image problem, with perspectives ranging from wild optimism to fear of losing the human touch. It is crucial to address these perceptions and ensure that AI is leveraged to enhance the patient-physician relationship. Perceptions about AI in healthcare vary among physicians and patients. While many physicians believe that AI can solve healthcare problems, concerns about the loss of human touch and overhyped expectations persist. Similarly, patients express discomfort with doctors relying on AI for diagnoses and treatments, fearing a negative impact on the patient-doctor relationship. To bridge the perception gap and ensure the successful integration of AI in healthcare, several strategies can be employed. First, healthcare providers should focus on delivering a great digital experience, leveraging online portals and patient apps to meet consumer expectations. Second, clear communication about what AI is and its capabilities is essential to build trust and differentiate hype from reality. Third, AI should be centered around addressing the needs of end users, solving real problems for physicians and patients alike. Lastly, active participation in the AI development process is crucial to ensure responsible implementation, protect privacy, and prevent bias and misdiagnosis. In conclusion, the successful integration of AI in healthcare requires responsible implementation and a focus on enhancing the physician-patient experience. Bridging the perception gap is as important as the actual capabilities of AI. By addressing concerns, educating stakeholders, and prioritizing patient-centered care, AI can truly revolutionize healthcare and deliver better outcomes for all.

We had an amazing time celebrating Diwali earlier this month! This 5-day festival of lights brought everyone together to learn about its rich traditions through engaging presentations and a fun trivia game. Delicious snacks like samosa chaat, paneer tikka, and kulfi added to the festivities, and everyone enjoyed painting their own diyas to symbolize the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with our fellow athenistas! ??? #athenaculture #athenistas #Diwali #FestivalOfLights #TeamSpirit
