athenaOne for Hospitals & Health Systems   

This page allows you to view and administer holidays in your practice. By default, the page displays the holidays for the current year. You can use the Edit Holidays menu to display the holidays for a past or future year.

 

athenahealth maintains a list of federal holidays up to five years ahead. You can manually update or add holidays even beyond the automatically populated years available. For example, if a holiday is observed on an alternative date, use the update link to select the appropriate date.
