The Evolution of Ophthalmology EMR Software

1

• The Evolution of Ophthalmology EMR Software
• When meaningful use was first introduced, many
  ophthalmologists had to make a decision as to how
  and when they should adopt an ophthalmology EMR
  system. Should they adopt early to take
  advantages of the incentives, or wait and see
  what changes came about? The main concern in
  waiting was not to wait so long that they were
  penalized. After initial consideration, receiving
  the incentives was a factor that made many decide
  to move forward quickly. With so many ophthalmic
  EMR software options available, many physicians
  made decisions based on price or a system that
  seemed easy to use. By 2015, 60 of physicians
  were looking to replace their current systems.
• In researching what motivated physicians to look
  for a new software vendor, it was found that 24
  found their current EHR too cumbersome or faulty.
  Many chose a system that was not specialty
  specific and found that it did not meet their
  unique requirements. A paediatrician, for
  example, had different needs than someone looking
  for an ophthalmology EMR. When asked what the
  best ophthalmology practice management software
  would include, this is the list of the top
  considerations
• Patient Tracking
• Customizable Templates
• Regulatory Compliance
• E-prescribing
• Tablet/Mobile Integration
• Robust Reporting
• Lab Integration
• Appointment Reminders
• So where does your practice fall in the
  ophthalmic EHR software cycle? Did you adopt
  early and take advantage of all of the
  incentives, or did you wait until some of the
  initial dust had settled to find a system? Maybe
