Reporting
athenaCollector + athenaClinicals
The athenaOne system provides several kinds of reporting.
Access to athenaOne reports is controlled by user roles and permissions. If you have the required permissions, a Reports link appears on the Main Menu.
The reports listed in this menu also depend on your user permissions.
The Report Library provides a large selection of reports that you can run "as is" or customize for a special purpose. You can click the star icon to the left of the report to mark the report as a favorite in the Report Library. The star turns yellow and the report is sorted to the top because favorite reports appear first in each section. This is a user-level feature.
If you do not find the report that you need in the Report
Library, you can use the Report Builder
to create the precise report that you need. If you are still unable to create the report you need, you can submit product feedback on the Success Community Ideas page.
Note: Reports
that are custom-created by athenahealth appear with the olive branch icon
to the left of the star.
Your Report Inbox allows you to access athenaOne reports that you scheduled to run offline. You can run a report by selecting the Run Offline option on the report page. You can also access autogenerated athenaOne custom reports scheduled with you as a designated recipient.
In addition, the report menu options include the following report wizards:
- Accounts Receivable Aging Wizard — shows accounts receivable by date of service for your practice.
- Activity Wizard — shows all transaction activity in your practice for a given date range; this activity includes creation of charges, posting of payments, and adjustments of charges.
- Collections Accounts Receivable — shows outstanding collections adjustments (unrecovered adjustments).
- Time-of-Service Payment Summary — shows all cash collected for each time-of-service batch by department and by payment method for a given transaction post date range.
- Financial Controls Center Deposit Detail — shows the details behind the financial summary on the Financial Controls Center (FCC) page. It also helps you balance athenaOne to your bank account. Your practice might choose to run this report monthly, weekly, or daily.
- Payment Mismatch Tracking — shows payments received on primary insurance charges that were outside the expected range.

Practice managers and administrators can review the performance of every provider in the organization. In most cases, individual providers can review only their own performance data and anonymous benchmarking data for other providers in the organization.
Note: If your organization has the Provider-Based Data Permissions feature enabled, the ability of providers to see their own and other providers' information is configured on the User Access to Provider Data page. Non-provider access to provider data is also configured on the User Access to Provider Data page.
Benchmarking data is available only for providers in the same specialty. Providers can spot trends in their performance and ascertain how well they performed compared to their peers.
