Quick Reference — To enroll providers in clinical data registries

athenaClinicals

 

Clinical data registries track patient population health by recording a patient's health status and the treatment received. If your providers are eligible for a clinical data registry, athenaOne generates a task for each registry that appears in the Enrollment Worklist.

 

After you enroll in a clinical data registry, athenahealth establishes an interface with the registry. This interface sends encounter data securely and automatically from athenaOne to the special registry.

Note: athenahealth recommends that you enroll with as many special registries as possible; participating in several clinical data registries can help you achieve quality program goals. For more information, see Immunization Registry Interfaces.
