AthenaHealth offers cloud-based solutions to manage electronic health records (EHR), revenue cycle, patient engagement, care coordination, and population health. Our partnership is based around three main objectives:

1. Team up with with their software modernization project, mostly from Perl and Oracle, migrating them to cloud microservices using AWS.
2. Maintain legacy code written in Perl.
3. Collaborate in creating new software for the company’s business needs, such as the development of a new Patient Experience Area.

Moreover, we collaborate to increase capacity in their Collector, Scheduling, Telehealth, Claims and Dental Claims areas supporting patients, doctors, providers and insurance.

unosquare was AthenaHealth’s first nearshore partner, beginning as a pilot test with 4 developers in the Submission area. After 2 years, we have 35 professionals.

• Athena has little to no external contractors and/or partners apart from unosquare, as they have been historically reluctant to outsource business critical workstreams. Our commitment to the quality of staff, as well as cost savings for Athena, has been key for growing our partnership.

• In all projects in which we have at least one collaborator, we have delivered on our 2024 objectives and goals on time; in one case in the Telehealth area we even ended earlier than expected.

• During a complex Dental Claims modernization process, the stage in which we were involved was successfully completed on time and in the correct manner.

unosquare introduced inclusion of a QA team and Scrum Masters as part of Athena’s development cycle (QA was previously done by developers). We plan, manage, and staff 100% of the QAs and Scrum Masters in the team.
