Define your Exam Workflow with Our Customizable EHR

Posted on 01. Dec, 2011 by Tammi.

Practice Director continues to provide one of the most easily customizable EHR and practice management software solutions available for eyecare professionals, and our clients are amazed at the difference. With a few clicks, the EHR can be customized to follow the order of your evaluation, including testing, patient history and workup, refraction and examination.

“The customizable EMR layout is great, allowing us to personalize it as much as we want. Un-like other software programs, where there is only one way to record an exam, Practice Director lets us record our exams according to our business flow. Looking back, we are confident we made the right choice, and we whole-heartedly agree that Practice Director is the best value in optometry software.”

Benefits of Using Our EHR

Posted on 13. Aug, 2010 by Kelsey.

Written by Karol Leisy, CPOA
Sr. Software Consultant

For many, the prospect of implementing Electronic Health Records can be intimidating. Although there are obvious benefits associated with going paperless and eliminating paper charts, the “fear of the unknown” can make this task seem overwhelming. The good news is that Practice Director can make the implementation process very manageable.

There are several reasons to take advantage of this module of Practice Director:

1. The EHR will eliminate the need for the optical and billing staff to spend valuable time re-entering diagnosis and CPT codes.
2. Staff will not spend their time filing, re-filing, or looking for charts on a daily basis.
3. The cost of paper supplies will be severely reduced and the absence of physical charts will free up space to be utilized for other office needs.
4. Once the patient has been in the office for the comprehensive exam, and the data is now stored on the computer, their paper chart can be filed alphabetically behind the last “Z” patient chart, eliminating the need to refer to the paper chart in the future.
5. You’ll always have the option to scan all the paper charts into Practice Director if you choose.
6. Incentives realized from the HITECH Act: If you begin utilizing the EHR in Practice Director now, by the time the EHR incentives are available, you will be way ahead of the game. So set a goal date to begin.

If you are more interested in learning about our software and the EHR, please watch our software preview or request an online demonstration. You can also contact us to learn more about our software.

Practice Director Optometry/Optical & EHR Software for Windows & Mac OS X has sponsored the 2010 – 2011 AOA EHR Affiliate Education program.

The American Optometric Association (AOA) has developed an Electronic Health Records (EHR) Preparedness Program to ensure optometry firmly maintains its position as America’s primary eye care profession in a new world of health information technology. As part of the AOA EHR Preparedness Program, the AOA is hosting the EHR Affiliate Education Program, a series of seminars at state association meetings to address the need of optometrists for the selection and implementation of EHR and e-prescribing. With deadlines fast approaching, optometrists have never had more reason – or a better opportunity – to implement EHR systems in their practices.
