Posted on February 12, 2021 by Team Eyefinity

If you’ve ever researched the differences between server-based and cloud-based software and come up confused, we totally understand. Throw into the mix third-party cloud-hosting and that’s when things really get perplexing.

How Cloud-Based Software Helped Make One Practice More Efficient

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Team Eyefinity

With eye care professionals (ECPs) working their way back to ‘normal’ while the COVID-19 pandemic continues and uncertainty remains for all businesses, one optometrist is glad he made the switch to a more efficient practice management tool when he did.

The Eyefinity Team recently caught up with Shane Fontenot, O.D. of Advanced Family Eyecare to hear about his transition from Officemate/ExamWRITER to Eyefinity Practice Management and Eyefinity EHR from VSP Global®. Here’s what he had to say about his experience:

“I purchased Eyefinity Practice Management and Eyefinity EHR in May 2019 and went live with the cloud-based system about five months later in November 2019,” said Dr. Fontenot. “With all the craziness that began in 2020, I’m so glad I made the switch over to Eyefinity when I did. The change has allowed my team to increase our efficiency and see and treat patients safely and effectively throughout the pandemic.”

But how is this increased efficiency possible with a cloud-based system, and what exactly is the ‘cloud?’

Add S’more Automation to Your Practice with ERA

Posted on February 14, 2019 by Team Eyefinity

I’m an avid camper. I love the peacefulness of sitting out by the lake, reading a book, and spending time with my family. However, I think most frequent campers can agree that setting up your campsite is time consuming. It takes a while to clear the site, put up my tent, organize food, and set up the kitchen area. I often wish the campsite setup could be an automated process, leaving me more time to roast marshmallows over an open fire.

At Eyefinity, the concept of turning routine tasks into automated processes inspires many of our new features. And it’s what inspired our newest Eyefinity Practice Management feature: Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA).

Friendships Formed at Eyefinity Education Conferences

Posted on August 7, 2018 by Team Eyefinity

Not only are Eyefinity Education Conferences opportunities to dive deep into Eyefinity software, they foster professional connections that could last a lifetime.

In June, more than 100 doctors and staff members joined Eyefinity at its second education conference of the year in San Antonio, Texas. And while Justine O’Dell, OD, from Spartanburg Vision, in South Carolina expected attendees to be excited for the conference and its content, she was pleasantly surprised by “the camaraderie that comes from such a personal, fun, and intensive training.”

“It was a great opportunity to brainstorm and network with ODs from across the country,” said Dr. O’Dell.

These conferences foster connections between attendees, as well as establish meaningful relationships between Eyefinity educators and doctors and staff.

How Eyefinity EHR Makes a Cup of Joe.

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Team Eyefinity
By Jamie Broughton, Optometric Technician, Mallinger Family Eyecare

At Mallinger Family Eyecare, Dr. Jennifer Mallinger, Dr. Julie Arcemont, and the staff strive to surpass the expectation of care for every patient. This isn’t easy in a world where there’s an app for everything, and folks are accustomed to walking into Starbucks and ordering their “usual” like a regular. Today’s patients expect more than just a solid prescription. It’s about the complete experience.

To keep up with patients’ growing expectations, we decided to go paperless about a year and a half ago. I can’t even describe how scary that was, but change always is. With support from Eyefinity® and our scanner, we successfully moved to Eyefinity EHR.

When you think of electronic health records, you probably assume you need to be tech savvy. But with Eyefinity EHR, understanding how to use an iPad is all you need to get started. Yes, there are times when something simple can get a bit involved. It happens with computers too, but that is when the technician saves the day!

Part of my job with Eyefinity is talking with the eye care community about our shared experience using Eyefinity software.
