OB/GYN practices on athenaHealth manage a scheduling complexity profile distinct from general primary care: continuous prenatal visit series spanning 9+ months, annual well-woman exams, in-office procedures with longer slot lengths, hospital labor and delivery coverage that pulls providers out of clinic unpredictably, and patient privacy considerations that affect communication patterns. Practice managers running OB/GYN operations […]
Multi Location athenaHealth practices have a special class of scheduling problems. Provider was at the south clinic Tuesday, north clinic Wednesday — front desk at south books a Wednesday slot anyway. Provider’s “free” slot turns out to be drive time between sites. A reschedule moves a patient to the wrong location. These problems compound across […]
Direct Primary Care practices have specific scheduling characteristics that make calendar visibility especially important — fewer patients per provider, longer encounters, membership-driven access, and physicians who own their schedules in a way that’s rare in larger systems. The result: when athenaHealth and Google Calendar don’t sync, the friction shows up faster and matters more than […]
The honest answer: as little as 30 minutes for the simplest setups, 2–3 days from discovery call to live for most single-location practices, and 5–7 days for multi-location setups. Sporo Health’s bidirectional sync isn’t a self-serve “click here” experience — but it isn’t a 6-week dev project either. The middle path exists for a reason. […]
Most athenaHealth scheduling problems trace back to visibility gaps, not features. Here are the 7 issues practice managers face and where each one gets fixed.
athenaHealth scheduling works best when three layers are aligned: clean provider templates inside athenaHealth, real-time visibility between athenaHealth and the calendars providers actually use, and a front-desk protocol that handles the gray areas. Most practices nail one or two and miss the third. The miss is where the daily friction lives. This guide walks through […]
Most athenaHealth double-bookings come down to calendar visibility gaps. Here’s the 6-step playbook practice managers use to fix the problem.
How to sync athenaHealth with Google Calendar isn’t a one-step answer — and until 2026, no purpose-built product had bridged them with a true two-way sync. athenaHealth doesn’t natively sync both ways with Google Calendar; a real bidirectional sync pushes athenaHealth appointments into Google Calendar and pushes Google Calendar blocks back into athenaHealth so the […]
“I didn’t go to med school to do this.” If that thought has crossed your mind more than once lately, you’re not alone, and you’re not overreacting. This is your guide to if you are ready to start your own Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. More than 47% of physicians reported burnout symptoms in early […]
In recent years, AI-powered medical scribes have emerged as an innovative solution to the documentation challenges in healthcare. By providing real-time transcription and automated data entry into Electronic Health Records (EHRs), these AI systems aim to reduce administrative burdens, enhance efficiency, and improve patient care. In this article, we explore how AI-powered medical scribes, such […]
