athenahealth ’ s cloud-based and on-premise technology delivers measurable clinical and financial results to healthcare providers across the U . S . The relationship between athenahealth and Northwell Health dates back to 1984 , delivering significant financial benefit to New York ’ s largest healthcare system . Marc d . Paradis , VP of Data Strategy at Northwell , is responsible for leveraging Northwell ’ s data assets . Partnership is essential , he says . “ I welcome the opportunity to work with companies like athenahealth to create a balanced relationship , with mutual respect and shared goals .”

A key goal for Northwell is to connect siloed information together in a data lake so it can be seen , linked and interrogated . “ athenaIDX , athenahealth ’ s on-premise enterprise revenue cycle management suite , is one of the most vital data sets feeding into our data lake : without it we couldn ’ t deliver the best care or interact with the various groups we support .”

Dave Haight , VP of Advisory Services at athenahealth , confirms : “ We ’ ve supported many facets of Northwell ’ s business operations . As Marc said , we are feeding the data lake that allows Northwell to look at strategic aspects of population health and value-based care . We are part of the ecosystem that feeds information to their organization , facilitating strategic decisions and investments , and how they reach out to the different communities that they serve . We ’ ve created a data-powered healthcare ecosystem that helps improve patient outcomes and business incomes . athenaIDX enables clients to control data and analytics , ambulatory and hospital billing , at scale across multiple states , boroughs and locations . It ’ s essential for them to be able to aggregate that information in a meaningful manner .” And athenaIDX is an important part of athenahealth ’ s robust revenue cycle portfolio , which allows us to meet the needs of large-scale systems like Northwell who have unique needs and require a customizable solution .
