Select departments and providers

  1. Departments — When you select a department, all providers who have ever seen patients in that department are automatically selected in the Providers list, even if the providers have not seen patients in the selected departments during the current program year.
    Note: If you manually deselect one of these providers in the Providers list, athenaOne deselects the department in the Departments list.
  2. Only include patients with an encounter in the selected department(s) — Because providers can see patients in multiple departments, you can use this option to include only patients who have had an encounter in the departments selected in the Departments field.
    • Select the Only include patients with an encounter in the selected department(s) option to include in the report only those patients ever seen in the selected departments.
      Important: Any patient who had an encounter with any provider in the selected departments in any year — not only during the current program year — is included in the report.
    • If you do not select the Only include patients with an encounter in the selected department(s) option, any patient who is attributed to a selected provider is included in the report results.
  1. Providers — Select the providers to include in the report. By default, all provider usernames are displayed. You can select the Specialty or TIN option to select providers from those categories (click the plus (+) icon to display the list of providers under a specialty or TIN).
    You can also filter the list of providers by provider name using the text box.
  2. Exclude measures with zero patients — Select this option to exclude measures with zero patients from the report, even if a provider is enrolled in that measure. This option is selected by default.
  3. Exclude inactive patients — Select this option to exclude inactive patients from the report results and any exported .csv files (you mark a patient as inactive using the Status menu on the patient Quickview).
    Note: In accordance with CMS and other quality program sponsors, inactive patients are included in athenahealth certified eCQMs and in quality program submission data.
