Athena Software launches Enhanced Outcomes Evaluation and Clinical Documents Solution
November 8, 2005

Athena Software is launching an enhanced outcome evaluation and case document solution at the Crossing Borders, Crossing Boundaries 2005 Joint CES/AEA Conference Toronto Canada. October 26-29 2005. For the first time, Athena and Penelope Case Management solutions will ship with a diverse menu of 26 outcome evaluation surveys and case document templates to make it easier to deploy an effective client management solution using proven outcome evaluations and clinical documents.

Athena Software now includes over 26 new powerful public domain outcomes evaluation and clinical document templates that enhance the client management solution. As the cost of proprietary measures are often prohibitive for NGOs, the inclusion of a slate of outcomes evaluation/ client satisfaction and clinical document templates with Athena / Penelope makes it easier to get started on an outcome evaluation plan using powerful software that is recommended by the United Way of America’s Outcome Measurement Resource Network. .

“The addition of this diverse menu of industry-proven outcomes evaluation and case documents makes it easier to unleash the power of Athena / Penelope on delivery.” Dana Fox, Director Business Development Athena Software, went on to say, “Agencies want to understand their operations to enhance the responsiveness of client service and efficacy of general operations. With these embedded tools, agencies may opt to use any number of them while still retaining the ability to create their own surveys, questionnaires and clinical templates as needed. These initial 26 tools will be supplemented by additional templates and surveys provided by the ever-growing global network of Athena / Penelope users.”

- Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale
