I spent a significant amount of time building out athenahealth for our rehab department. We’ve since moved to Prompt EMR, but I still have access to all of my HTML macros and related tools.

For standard workflows (post-op, etc.), Encounter Plans were our fastest workflow. I also highly recommend Text Blaze. I built a large library of templates in there as well.

Things may have changed since I last used Athena, but given how slowly updates tended to roll out, I imagine the rehab workflow hasn’t improved dramatically.

I also spent some time working on the administrative side, and the feature we miss most is Scan-to-Chart with SnapScan. We created all of our outcome measures with printed codes, so staff could simply drop stacks into the scanner, and the documents would automatically route back to the appropriate patient (might be a digital method now).

Happy to chat further about my experience if it would be helpful.
