Klara®, a leader in patient communication and engagement, is
proud to introduce its patient intake product, designed exclusively
for athenahealth users to streamline and modernize the patient
intake process. Klara’s patient intake solution automatically syncs
patient information submitted through digital forms with the
patient record, helping to reduce manual data entry, minimize
in-office wait times, and ensure that key patient information is
up-to-date.
As part of the athenahealth® Marketplace, Klara’s new product is
intended to save time for healthcare providers using athenahealth’s
medical billing and practice management system. Patient intake is a
critical tool in healthcare administration, and Klara's new
solution is poised to transform the way healthcare practices manage
this essential process.
Key Benefits of Klara's Patient Intake:
Reduce Manual Data Entry: Klara's cutting-edge technology
will help remove the burden of manual data entry, enabling
healthcare professionals to complete their work efficiently,
without the need for late-night record updates.
Accurately Update Patient Records: Klara empowers
healthcare practices to digitally request, collect, and update
patients' demographic information before their appointments.
Klara's patient intake product connects with athenahealth's
practice management system, allowing patient records to be
automatically updated with patient-reported data.
Reduce In-Office Wait Times: By prompting patients to
complete key information before their visit, Klara helps practices
maintain efficient schedules, reducing in-office wait times for
both patients and staff.
"At Klara, our mission is to empower healthcare providers and
improve the patient experience,” said Ash Forsyth, General Manager
of Klara. “With patient intake, we're taking a big step toward that
goal. Klara is transforming healthcare communication and
administration to simplify workflows for professionals."

practice management system, eliminating data entry errors
associated with manual entry and streamlining workflows.
Demographic Forms: Healthcare practices can easily
collect demographic forms and documents from patients, before their
appointments, enabling accurate and up-to-date patient
information.
Clinical Forms: Klara's solution extends beyond
demographics, allowing practices to collect crucial clinical
information, including medication details, medical history, and the
history of present illness (HPI), facilitating more comprehensive
patient care.
Insurance Collection: Klara simplifies the process of
collecting patient insurance information before appointments,
giving healthcare providers the necessary data to streamline
billing and insurance claims.

real-time updates makes Klara the ideal solution for athenahealth
users seeking to enhance efficiency and patient satisfaction.
