Resurgens Orthopaedics Moves Off Software and Joins athenahealth’s National Network to Drive Clinical & Financial Performan...
April 20 2017 - 8:00AM
athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHN), a leading provider of
network-enabled services for hospital and ambulatory clients
nationwide, today announced that Resurgens Orthopaedics, Georgia’s
largest orthopedic medical group, will replace its current
vendor software with athenahealth's cloud-based suite of electronic
health record (EHR), practice management, and patient engagement
services to support a base of nearly 100 physicians in over 20
locations who perform 600,000 patient visits annually.
“One of the things that attracted us to athenahealth was shared
incentives around reducing administrative burden and cost. Creating
efficiencies for our physicians and staff by having athena take on
the non-essential clinical work that our teams do currently is
critical. We also look forward to the opportunities provided by
athena’s network to improve patient access and engagement,” said
Dr. Douglas Lundy of Resurgens. “With the increasing regulatory
burden affected by healthcare reform, Resurgens is also confident
that partnering with athena will enable us to more easily meet
these requirements.”
With athenahealth services, Resurgens’ providers will have the
opportunity to gain insight into patient records not just across
the Resurgens network, but also from affiliated practices and
hospitals along the continuum of care through athena’s membership
with CommonWell Health Alliance and Carequality.
Additionally, athenahealth’s network and associated services are
aligned to the unique needs of the orthopedic specialty. For
instance, athenahealth aggregates billing rules from over 3,800
orthopedic providers across the country for revenue cycle
management that is highly-efficient and informed by the successes
and lessons of others. This insight helps orthopedic clients
collect payment faster.
“As the scale of our network grows, so does the intelligence and
value it brings to the healthcare market. Within the orthopedic
space, we've gained immense traction — 60 percent of the ortho
market in Georgia alone. We’re thrilled to serve our individual
clients across a variety of financial and clinical performance
metrics, but more importantly, to serve the specialty as a
whole. Resurgens is a forward-looking group that understands
the importance of being part of a national cloud-based network and
we're excited to work with them," said Jonathan Bush, CEO at
athenahealth.
