What can the
integration do?
Linear Health's established athenahealth integration supports patient information, scheduling and referral coordination while your team keeps its existing EHR. Start with the work you want completed, then define the corresponding chart action and the staff member responsible for exceptions.
Appointment workflows
Read appointment types, available slots and appointment lists. Book, reschedule or cancel appointments, and add appointment notes as part of the agreed scheduling process.
Referral records and notes
Read patient documents, referral orders and encounter information. Add referral action notes to record coordination activity in the existing workflow.
The connection
What moves
between systems?
Use the workflow and its chart updates as the starting point for your implementation discussion.
- Connection
- Linear Health works alongside athenahealth through an established integration. Your implementation plan defines the operational scope.
- Incoming context
- Patient details, insurance information, documents, referral orders, encounter information, appointment types and available slots.
- Write-back
- Patient-chart creation, contact updates, added insurance information, appointment bookings and changes, appointment notes and referral action notes.
Implementation
Plan your
setup.
These planning steps help your operations and technical teams define the configuration that fits your organization.
Choose the starting workflow
Bring one scheduling or referral example. Identify the patient context, department and appointment type involved, along with the information staff need before acting. Separate the initial rollout from later additions.
Agree the permitted actions
Specify which chart updates, appointment changes and notes belong in that workflow. Assign a staff owner for exceptions and define when an unresolved item needs manual attention.
Confirm the result
Review the expected chart or schedule outcome with your team. Include an unsuccessful-update scenario in acceptance checks so ownership is clear when the expected result is missing.
Scope and prerequisites
- Confirm the departments, appointment types and actions included in your implementation; this overview is not a field-by-field configuration specification.
- Agree how staff verify completed updates and handle work that needs further attention.
Ownership and security
Identify the operational owner for exceptions and the technical owner for access, mappings, and chart verification. Agree the handoff before enabling a workflow.
