We see really good patient portal adoption, and that is great because we want to be able to stay in contact with our patients. athenahealth's product makes my life easier. It is very easy to work with, understand, and solve problems in it," said the director of an ambulatory practice in November 2024.

It is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and passion—all of which are needed to drive our industry forward,” said Adam Gale, CEO of KLAS Research.

A physician told KLAS in July, 2024, "I love how athenahealth takes feedback and inputs. They make that information real within the EMR. That information is constantly changing, but it is updated quickly. If something needs to change to be more modern or easier to use, the vendor will bring it in very quickly. I love the system's integration. It allows me to really see drug interactions make a difference, and the system's cost integrations have been great."

athenahealth will accept the Overall Independent Physician Practice Suite award at ViVE Conference on Monday, February 17 in Nashville, Tennessee, and will also participate in the Best in KLAS Awards Ceremony on Monday, March 3 at HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
