The integration allows practices to manage referrals without manual data entry, effectively connecting providers on both ends of the care continuum. According to LeadingReach, this automation reduces coordination time by 75% and enables medical practices to handle six times the referral volume compared to traditional manual intake processes. By surfacing referral status directly within the existing system, the tool aims to eliminate the common pitfalls of fragmented communication.
LeadingReach Integrates Referral Management into athenaOne
Half of all specialty referrals fail to result in a scheduled appointment, a persistent breakdown in patient care coordination. Seeking to bridge this gap, Austin-based LeadingReach has joined the athenahealth Marketplace, embedding its automated referral network directly into the athenaOne clinical workflow to ensure accountability and seamless data exchange.
Curtis Gattis, co-founder and CEO of LeadingReach, described the move as a shift toward more accountable healthcare, noting that the platform is designed to function within the systems clinicians already use daily. This partnership expands the reach of the LeadingReach network—which currently facilitates over 25,000 referrals daily across 30,000 organizations—to the more than 170,000 clinicians active on the athenaOne network.
