athenaOne Mobile on Android Devices

Overview

athenaOne Mobile, now available on Android, lets you access athenaClinicals data on your Android device. It connects to athenaOne desktop in real time so you always have the most up-to-date information — whether you're viewing a patient's chart or checking your schedule or Inbox.

On Android devices, you can:

  • Log in seamlessly using SSO
  • Search for patients in your department or schedule
  • View your appointments
  • Check your Inbox
  • View key sections of the patient chart, such as Documents and Visits
  • Access the Help Center
  • Submit support cases
  • Give feedback

We're supporting athenaOne Mobile on Android devices because you requested it. Keep those suggestions coming! For the original suggestion, please see the request on Success Community.

 

This release note contains information to help you get started using the app on Android devices. The Features and capabilities — iOS and Android section provides an overview of what's currently available on Android and iOS devices. For more detailed information, including step-by-step instructions, visit the Help Center after downloading the app.

How does the athenaOne Mobile app differ on iOS and Android devices?

For now, you can access more pages and functionality on iOS devices.

 

On Android devices, we're first making our most popular mobile pages available, but with an updated design and limited (read-only) functionality.

 

In future updates, we plan to make more pages and functionality available on Android devices and to update the design of pages on iOS devices to follow suit until the two experiences mostly align, with only minor differences due to platform variations.

 

Setup instructions

Enable athenaOne mobile

Some larger organizations require additional setup and a rollout plan. Please contact your IT resource for more information.

 

IT resources can contact your organization's Customer Success Manager (CSM) to enable athenaOne mobile based on a rollout plan that will work best for your practice.

User access and permissions

Accessing the app on Android devices

By default, all athenaClinicals users can access athenaOne mobile. However, your practice can request that access to athenaOne mobile be disabled for all users or enabled for only specific users.

 

Note

If your organization decides to restrict access to specific users, athenahealth will change the setting to allow partial access to the app. Then your practice decides who’s allowed to access the app. To grant access to the app, a practice administrator must assign the athenaOne Mobile Access role to each practice user. Once a user is assigned this role, they can access athenaOne mobile on iOS and Android mobile devices.

 

To change which practice users can access athenaOne mobile, please create a support case: On the Success Community, click Create case or call, and then select Additional Services, and the athenaOne Mobile option.

Accessing functionality in the app

athenaOne mobile uses the same roles and permissions as athenaOne desktop. Therefore, if you have permission to perform an action in athenaClinicals and that page and functionality is available for Android devices in athenaOne mobile, you'll find you also have permission to perform the same action in athenaOne mobile.

To download the app and log in

You can download the app from the Google Play Store and log in with your athenaOne credentials.

Tip
You can enable Fingerprint ID on the Settings screen (SettingsConfigurationEnable Fingerprint ID).

If you have trouble logging in

Tap Contact Support at the bottom of the Login screen to submit a support case.

Note
You'll receive assistance more quickly and allow us to track and resolve issues more efficiently. For these reasons, it's best not to send emails about login issues.

To set up the app to suit your workflow

After you download and log in to the app, set your default department, Inbox filters, and appointment filters. If you later decide to change the options you selected, you can do so at any time.

Set your default department

Setting a default department can speed up the login process.

  1. Tap Settings in the bottom navigation bar.

  2. Departments — Choose your default department.

Set your default Inbox filters

Setting default Inbox filters ensures you see the tasks that need your attention in the Inbox.

  1. On the Home screen, tap Check my Inbox, or tap Inbox in the bottom navigation bar.

  2. Tap the current filters at the top of the screen.
    A window to select your Inbox filters appears, with the Department tab open by default.

  4. Tap the Users & Roles tab, and select at least one option.
    The users and roles listed depend on the department that you selected.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to select users and roles in other departments.

    Note

    • You can select up to 25 Department options and 25 Users & Roles options.

    • You must select at least 1 Department option and 1 Users & Roles option to see tasks in your Inbox.
