What This System Does for Your Eye Care Center
Who Works in This System
The Typical Day at an Eye Care Center
- The front desk checks Open Appointments to see who is expected today
- Patients arrive; pre-screening begins (visual acuity check, IOP measurement by the ophthalmic technician)
- The optometrist or ophthalmologist conducts the eye examination - recording findings, refraction, and diagnosis
- Investigations ordered in the examination flow to the investigation team (OCT, visual fields, fundus photography)
- Surgical patients have their pre-op checks completed and procedures performed
- Optical prescriptions are given or dispensed (spectacles/contact lenses)
- Billing invoices every service at the end of each visit
- The billing team checks Appointments to Bill to make sure nothing is missed
What Makes This Different from Paper Records
- The complete optical prescription history is stored permanently - the optometrist can see what prescription the patient had 3 years ago without searching through filing cabinets
- Investigation results (OCT, visual fields) are linked to the examination that ordered them, so the ophthalmologist sees results in context
- Pre-operative checklists ensure nothing is missed before a patient goes into surgery
- Appointment reminders are sent automatically - patients receive an SMS before their eye appointment
- Patients can view their spectacle prescription online without calling the clinic
- Billing for investigations and procedures is tracked against each consultation to prevent revenue being missed
