Optometry EHR in Eyefinity Encompass: Your Secret Weapon for Reclaiming Precious Time 

Take a second to think about all the time you spend trying to find patient forms, documenting exams, and filling out all the nitty-gritty paperwork after hours or in between appointments...we’ll wait. It’s a lot, isn’t it?

Let’s walk through how Eyefinity's cloud-based software streamlines and automates the documentation process and how it just might be the secret weapon to getting you out from behind piles of paperwork and back in front of your patients.

Your Practice, Your Procedures. Period.

We understand that you can’t skimp on the documentation process, and nor should you—quality patient care depends on quality and reliable patient records. That doesn’t mean record keeping has to take up every minute of your day. Eyefinity Encompass^TM allows you to create exam protocols that enable you to preprogram your most frequently used plans and procedures. Once set up, you can easily apply them to a patient’s exam by toggling on the appropriate protocols for that particular exam.

Using your personal protocols liberates you from entering redundant data, drastically reducing the time it takes to document findings. Although not everything can be done at the snap of a finger, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can document and finalize your exams once you have your protocols in place.

Another great time-saving feature for repeat patients is Eyefinity Encompass’s Copy Forward functionality. Copy Forward enables you to quickly pull historical data into a new exam. Cut down on extra taps by pre-selecting elements such as Chief Complaint, Vision Exam, Impressions, and more within the new exam in seconds. Once your desired criteria are in, finalize by reviewing the exam data, updating any outdated information, and confirming that the information is correct.

Let Patients See What You See

In a street survey, researchers from George Washington University found that “demonstrating that [providers] have patients’ best interests at heart” and are “transparent and open with patients” were the most critical aspects when offering quality care. This level of care and attention allows patients to be more honest when communicating with their providers and accept advice and specialized treatment plans that yield the best results.

Keep your patients in the know with easy-to-share imaging that encourages them to engage with their ocular health in real time. Eyefinity’s Image Management automatically files your patients’ diagnostic images as soon as they’re taken and displays them from almost any imaging device for your patients to see.

Image management makes it easy to present your findings—using side-by-side comparisons to showcase changes over time, as well as live playbacks—so your patient can follow along straight from your computer screen or iPad. And when you’re done, images taken on your device will automatically be sent to your workstation and stored in your practice’s cloud-based software, so they’re always at your fingertips when you’re ready to access them.

Peek Inside the Patient Portal

Having reliable, multifaceted EHR software doesn’t only benefit you in the exam room. It can be used as a key tool for your patients as well. With the exclusive Patient Portal in Eyefinity Encompass, you can send secure messages and attachments that patients can access anytime, anywhere.

Inside the portal, patients can securely access visit notes, enter medication refill requests, and receive contact lens prescriptions all in one place.

Make Each Minute Count

As a provider, your number one priority is caring for your patients. Each minute you spend with your head buried in paperwork is time you could spend answering questions, discussing treatments, or recommending brands your patients will love.

While thorough documentation is essential to running a thriving practice, it doesn’t need to detract from providing exceptional care. Now’s your time: claim your secret weapon, restore your day, and get back the time you and your patients deserve.
