Report Library
athenaOne for Hospitals & Health Systems
This page allows you to run, schedule, move, edit, and delete reports used in your practice.
- Reports that you build and save using the Report Builder are stored in the Report Library.
- When you run reports offline (overnight) or schedule them to run at a future date, the report results appear in your Report Inbox.
On the Main Menu, click Reports. Under General, click Report Library
Both the Report Reader and Practice Superuser roles include access to all tabs of the Report Library. But each tab in the Report Library also has its own user permission, so that you can grant access to one particular tab, for example, Billing Operations. Following are the tab-level Report Library user permissions:
- Report: Report Library: Financial
- Report: Report Library: Front Office Operations
- Report: Report Library: Billing Operations
- Report: Report Library: Schedules
- Report: Report Library: Patients
- Report: Report Library: Communicator
- Report: Report Library: Clinicals
- Report: Report Library: Coordinator
- Report: Report Library: Other
Note: To access data when running Clinicals reports, you must have the appropriate Clinicals permissions.
Reports for users with limited access to provider data
If your organization limits user access to provider data using the User Access to Provider Data page, the User Access to Departments page, or both, athenaOne reports respect those data permissions. You can create a single customized report and send it to many recipients instead of creating different versions for recipients with different data permissions.
To use this feature, select a report and then click the schedule link (or the modify schedule link). When you schedule a report, you select the usernames of the recipients and the recurrence of the report (see To schedule a report in the Report Library). When the report results appear in the user recipient's Report Inbox, the report results include only data for provider groups and providers to which the recipient user has access.
Roles and permissions for reports in the Practice Reports section of a tab
The "Report: Report Library: Save/Edit Practice Reports" role enables the move and modify options for reports in the Practice Reports section of a Report Library tab. You must also have the corresponding Report: Report Builder: permission (for example, Report: Report Builder: Appointment or Report: Report Builder: Clinicals) to enable the edit and delete options.
Note: The "Report: Report Library: Save/Edit Practice Reports" role also enables the Hide deleted reports and Show deleted reports options at the top of any Report Library tab and enables the Show Report Schedules and Hide Report Schedules options for individual reports.

Scheduled reports run early in the morning on their projected delivery date. If the report is filtered by a relative date range (for example, Previous Month, Year-to-Date, or Year thru Previous Month), the data included in the report is based on the date that the report is run, not the date on which the user scheduled the report. For example, if you create a report filtered by the claim service day with the relative date range Previous Month and you schedule the report on May 1 for delivery on June 1, the claim service days included in the report will be May 1 through May 31 (not April 1 through April 30).

Reports that are custom-created for you by athenahealth appear with an olive branch icon to the left of the star.
If you need additional custom reports, please contact the CSC by selecting Support > Create Case or Call in the Main Menu. As part of your request, you can specify drop-down or multi-select filter fields and specify prepopulated options.
User permission-aware custom reports
You can use the user role called Report: Custom Reports: User Permission Aware Reports to limit custom report results for users who should have only limited access to sensitive data. When a user with this role runs a custom report, the report results include only the data for providers and departments to which the user has access.
The same custom reports can be used for both single-practice and cross-practice. The report will display the Context selector when it's applicable.
if your practice is part of a reporting network and you have cross-practice reporting permissions:
- When you run a custom cross-practice report, you will see the Context selector.
- You can use the Context ID field to select the practices in your network that you want to include in the report.
-
Note: If you only have access to some of the contexts in your reporting network, you will only see those contexts listed in the Context selector.
Otherwise, the report will behave as a single-practice report.
If you have custom reports that include data from a system outside athenaOne, you may need to manage the logical data connections ("mappings") between athenaOne data and outside data.
The Report Map Validation Errors report identifies validation errors in the custom report mappings. Instructions for resolving these errors are included on the report run page; you resolve the errors on the Custom Report Mappings page.
To add this report to the Report Library, go to the Activate Reports page and select Report Map Validation Errors. The report appears on the Other tab of the Report Library.
Note: For athenaEnterprise clients, the Report Map Validation Errors (Cross Practice) report can be enabled. This report is useful for complex tablespace setups that involve many practices.
To activate the Report Map Validation Errors report, you must have the Report: Custom Reports Activate permission and one of these roles:
- Management – Collector
- Superuser – Collector
- Finance – Collector
- Clinicals Superuser
You can create custom filters for use in reports with the Custom Filters page. Custom filters appear along with standard filters and display columns of the same type when you run a standard report in the Report Library or create a report using the Report Builder. For example, wherever a provider filter or display column exists in the Report Builder, you can see and select your custom provider filters.
Note: Custom filters created for custom reports can also be used in the Report Builder and other reports.
Custom filters allow you to report on groups of entities, such as providers and departments, in ways that are meaningful for your organization. You can use custom filters to collect and slice financial and other data in your defined filter groups. For more information, see Custom Filters.
The Time of Service Collections report helps you understand the financial status of every appointment and observe the data displayed in the time of service collection rate (TSCR) metric on the Sentinel Metrics Dashboard. athenahealth recommends that you use the Time of Service Collections report to monitor performance over time at the practice, department, and staff level.
The athenahealth Prompt Pay feature is designed to relieve the administrative burden of monitoring payer compliance with the prompt pay laws in your state. The report tracks the payment performance of the top volume payers in a practice, according to the state's prompt pay legislative guidelines.

- After the report opens in Excel, you can add the following formula columns to calculate interest owed and identify noncompliant payments:
- Days Past Due = Days from Submit to Remit — [your state's grace period].
- Expected Interest = Sum of Net Payments * [your state's mandated interest rate] * [days past due].
Note: The formula may vary depending on how long the payment has been outstanding. Please consult your state's laws to determine the expected interest. - Compliant? If Expected Interest — Interest Paid > 0, the payment may be noncompliant.
- Prompt Pay laws and criteria vary by state. Practice managers should review their local legislation or contact their state medical association to learn about the applicable laws in their state.
- Billing Managers or Practice Administrators should run their customized prompt pay report on a monthly basis.
- Practices should run the Prompt Pay standard report, download the results to Excel, and add calculation columns based on local compliance criteria.
- Practice Administrators (or their legal advisors) should follow up with noncompliant payers by contacting their provider relations representative at the carrier or by contacting their state medical association.
Note: It is the practice's responsibility to follow up with payers regarding their compliance with Prompt Pay laws.
Two reports support chronic care management services. You can find these reports on the Other tab in the Report Library.
- Chronic Care Management Eligible Patients — This report identifies all Medicare patients who may be eligible to receive chronic care management services. Eligible patients have two or more chronic conditions identified by the Department of Health and Human Services on historical claims. You can filter the report by Insurance Reporting Category to display patients potentially eligible for CCM by payer.
- Medicare Chronic Care Management Claims Eligible to be Created — This report identifies Medicare patients who can be billed for chronic care management services.
Activate these reports using the Activate Reports page (On the Main Menu, click Settings > Implementation. In the left menu, under Practice Links — Reports, click Activate Reports).
To ensure that as many eligible Medicare patients as possible receive CCM services, athenahealth recommends that you automate report delivery on a monthly basis to the appropriate practice users.
In addition to the standard CCM reports, we also recommend that you create a report using the Report Builder to quickly identify closed CCM encounters that do not yet have a claim associated with them.
- Display the Report Builder page: On the Main Menu, click Reports. Under General, click Report Builder.

As required by the Drug Enforcement Agency, we provide two EPCS reports for your practice: a report that shows prescribing activity and another report that shows audit events.
Note: For more information about the EPCS feature, see EPCS Enrollment.
Practice users with the "Clinicals: EPCS Enrollment Approval" user permission or role automatically receive the EPCS Auditable Events report delivered to their Report Inbox. The DEA requires that this report be run for all users who can grant/revoke EPCS access to flag any actions that could indicate a security breach. The report provides information about the following auditable events:
- Failed login attempts — Event in which, for example, a prescriber attempts to log in to the EPCS authorization window with an incorrect password, a clinical staff user with incorrect permissions attempts to sign an EPCS order, or a practice user attempts to log in to athenaOne with an incorrect password.
- Logical access control changes — Event in which a user's access to EPCS is granted or revoked.
Note: You can run this report on demand from the Other tab of the Report Library. If a user receives the EPCS Auditable Events report automatically and wants to stop receipt of the report, you can remove the "Clinicals: EPCS Enrollment Approval" user permission or role.
Auditable events in the EPCS Auditable Events report
Auditable events in the EPCS Auditable Events report include both failed signings of an EPCS order and failed login attempts into athenaOne by any user, even users who are not prescribers and do not have permission to sign EPCS orders. This definition of an auditable event complies with Section 1311.150 of the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR), which states in part (1) that an auditable event can be an "Attempted unauthorized access to the electronic prescription application, or successful unauthorized access where the determination of such is feasible."
The EPCS Provider Issued Substances report shows prescriptions and is available to issuing prescribers.
Note: This report appears in the Report Inbox on the first day of each month for staff members who are listed on the EPCS Enrollment Approval page. You can also run the report whenever you want from the Other tab of the Report Library.
