• How Can an Ophthalmic EMR Change Ophthalmology
  Practice Management?
• We all know that ophthalmology practice
  management software has been available for years
  everyone has one. But has your ophthalmology
  practice management strategy evolved with the
  changes? With so much focus on ophthalmic EMR
  software, many vendors have let the practice
  management side fall behind. Your practice
  management should evolve as the technology does.
  New features, more functionality, and better
  reporting are all available. If you have not seen
  any improvements in your ophthalmology practice
  management system, it might be time for a system
  check to ensure you are getting all the benefits.
• Here are some areas where we have seen great
  improvements due to advanced technology.
• Patient Flow Monitors. This is a great tool to
  determine if and where there may be bottlenecks
  during the patient encounter. This allows you to
  make adjustments that will increase patient
  satisfaction.
• Claims. This is another area that has gone
  through many
• changes. Smart systems like iMedicWare and the
  Integrity EMR have billing rule capabilities to
  auto populate items that are frequently missed.
  This means claims are processed accurately,
  leading to quicker payment and better overall
  financials.
• Patient eligibility. An automated process gives
  you up-to-date and accurate insurance eligibility
  information, allowing the practice to collect the
  correct co-pays and deductibles up front. It also
  alerts the practice to inaccurate or ineligible
  insurance benefits.
• Scheduling advancements. Scheduling or changing
• appointments a breeze. Some software, like the
  Integrity practice management solutions, even
  offer a drag and drop functionality.
• Many enhancements have also been made on the back
  side of ophthalmology practice management.
• Reporting. New ophthalmic EMR software programs
  have made vast improvements in reporting. A good
  ophthalmic software can run reports on virtually
  any field in the system, providing you with the
  key data needed to make informed

• business decisions. Easily run reports to see
  where staff members might be struggling and need
  assistance, and to find out which members are
  excelling. You should also be able to track where
  new patients are coming from marketing
  campaigns, referrals, or word of mouth. Put your
  advertising dollars to their best use.
• Statement Processing. This has also gone though
  many
• changes and has now become an automated process.
  Many companies offer outside sources to handle
  statement processing for you.
• As you can see, ophthalmology practice management
  has evolved over the years and continues to
  evolve every day. Make sure your ophthalmology
  EMR and project management software is
  progressing with the times and improves office
  functionality rather than hindering the
  day-to-day processes. The myCare suite by Eye
