Cloud-based health IT vendor athenahealth is expanding its strategic partnership with Henry Schein to incorporate the latter's Dentrix Enterprise electronic dental record system into the athenaNet electronic health record platform at community health centers, including federally qualified health centers.
The expanded agreement is designed to help increase efficiency at CHCs, as well as provide the centers with the required uniform data system.
"Value-based care models, like the FQHC model, require substantial documentation and reporting; our goal is to automate these processes wherever possible to save valuable time and reduce cost for our clients," said Jonathan Bush, chairman and CEO of athenahealth, in a news release. "By teaming up with Dentrix Enterprise, we are enabling our CHC and FQHC clients to work smarter and more efficiently as they pursue quality care, better health, and lower costs for their patients."
