## The Problem

Primary Care practices prescribing controlled substances need PDMP checks, chart documentation, and pattern monitoring — missing any of it is a DEA problem.

## What We Build in athenahealth

AI runs PDMP checks on every controlled-substance order, documents the check in athenahealth, flags concerning patterns, and generates compliance reports — audit-ready, every prescription. Purpose-built for teams running athenahealth — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## athenahealth Integration Approach

1. **Audit your athenahealth configuration.** We map the specific athenahealth objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your primary care practice.
2. **Build on the athenahealth API or agent.** Integration happens inside athenahealth — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in athenahealth with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
