So far so good
I was “Forced” to switch from using my phone browserTo this app. But actually like the app quite well. I can finish my patient cases quite easily, and after hours check on patients labs and results. Finishing encounters is not very user-friendly.Mark NPR

Hi, Thank you for the positive feedback. We are glad to know the value it adds to your office work!2 major issues make this useless
athenaNet forces the photos you add into a short and wide aspect ratio for display in the chart. It is very difficult to take a useful photo with that size and shape. Allowing the height to be flexible to support any aspect ratio would be a huge quality of life improvement.
Additionally many of us take pictures when seeing patients and then import them later when writing documentation. This app does not allow selecting an image from the device to import, only lets you take one from the camera.Show lessAndskejdnz

Hi, We apologize for the issue you are having! Could you send details of what you are experiencing mentioning this review to our customer support at athenaCapture@athenahealth.com? We'll get you up and running.Edit photos
The only thing I’d change would be to add an option to edit the image. Beyond that, it works well.aspoguihdnfvajr

Hi, Thank you for the positive feedback. We will surely consider your input for our future releases.Can take the photo to upload
The app will open my camera to scan the barcode but after that I can not take pictures of the patient info to scan it in.Ami993393
Works great
I like using it to document rashes, lacs, diabetic feet etc. I wish it had an overlying ruler or other marker as a reference. I do show patients what I’m doing and demonstrate that no photos remain on my phone. I don’t think it works as well for document uploading. There generally is a shadow cast on the document and unlike the scanner apps it does not change to a PDF file.Show lessBGAZ
Nice app
Great app but needs support to allow upload of photos stored on your phone. As of now you can only upload photos you take after scanning barcode. This is not always possible to do in the clinical setting.Thebonedoc
Disagree with the other lady
Simply because if you are uploading based on what’s in your phone, it means you’re storing patient info or images on your device. Just seems safer to delete it. 4 stars because I wish it was a few seconds faster. Nitpicky but it seems to add up. Good though.BRAVERLIGHTNING
Nice but flawed
This is a great app, it’s nice to be able to upload photo documentation into a patient’s chart, but it seems to be lacking a basic feature. I should be able to upload photos already on my phone rather than having to take the photo on demand. I hope this feature is included in the next update.farrugi5
Invaluable tool
When adding a picture to the chart you on the fly it is a necessity. It moves fast even to use even during the busiest parts of the day. Don’t know why it took so long for me to start using it.Wdelliott76
how embarrassing!
Primitive app that requires you to be at your computer to collect scan that links the patient to the photo you’re taking and insists that you make the connection & take the photo within an Athena-defined time frame, else restart the preposterous linking routine; the app obviously needs to be embedded in Athena mobile which would allow one to check-in to the patient’s chart, making the link there, take the photo & send it into the ether connected; that way you can take photos on a home visit, readily add photos into a completed visit, etc.
Aldo, the photos end up buried layers deep in document files. Labeling photos is a bizarre process and no matter what you label them, you still end up on first attempt at locating them, finding them (if you can!) labelled, eg, “procedure documentation #235” or such; if you have more than several photos in one visit you have to click on each one to find it’s real label.
I could go on; an utterly abominable attempt at a functioning app; truly a case where nothing would have been better than this something.
Solution: Athena, go buy someone else’s app, reverse engineer it & find out how it’s really done. They’ve re-invented the wheel and it came out square.Show lessbabalou2121
