Althea Smart EHR Features
Smart Charting
Althea Smart EHR offers an intuitive charting experience, allowing providers to document patient encounters using dictation, macros, templates, or traditional typing. Features like 'Copy' and 'Merge' enable users to incorporate information from previous visits, while 'favorites' provide quick access to essential data, streamlining the documentation and ensuring accurate documentation.
AI-Powered Ambient Charting
Althea Smart EHR features AI-powered ambient listening technology that captures, transcribes, and structures patient-clinician conversations into SOAP notes in real time. This tool reduces documentation time by hours each day, decreases administrative burden, and minimizes errors. By automating notetaking, it allows providers to focus more on patient interactions while maintaining accurate and complete clinical records.
Althea Health – Patient Portal
The ‘Althea Health Patient Portal’ strengthens patient-provider communication by enabling patients to update their demographics, sign forms, pay balances, and check in remotely, helping ensure patients arrive prepared for visits—all pending clinician review. iPhone users can also share data from their Health app directly with their provider or share documents for more comprehensive care.
Telemedicine
Althea Smart EHR offers a fully integrated telemedicine solution with high-quality, HIPAA-compliant virtual visits—accessible directly from the patient chart. Patients automatically receive a link to join, making virtual visits simple, secure, and just as convenient as in-person care.
Medical Billing
Althea Smart EHR enables instant claim generation as soon as a note is closed, providing full visibility of ICD and CPT codes tied to each visit. Users can edit codes and view the linked progress note for complete billing clarity and improved practice revenue. For added support, its Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) service, managed by local experts in Southern California, allows providers to delegate billing tasks and stay focused on value-based care.
