Description

It is estimated that 15 million people in the United States have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with more than 1.75 million having advanced disease (defined as neovascular AMD or geographic atrophy); the number with advanced disease is expected to climb to almost 3 million by the year 2020. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in adults over 55 years of age. AMD Update is a monthly e-newsletter dedicated to bringing to the ophthalmologist the latest and most useful clinical information and literature reviews on the management of AMD in a quick, easy to review format.

“Some are using an EHR that was designed for a cardiology practice,” Ms. Archibald says. “While the practices are similar, if the cardiology EHR is upgraded, there’s a chance it may no longer meet the needs of the ophthalmology practice. This may cause the practice to have to make a huge capital investment for a specialty EHR that no longer meets its needs” — a mistake no practice can afford.

ReSeeVit elite HR Camera and Software The elite Digital Camera is specially engineered from the ground up to be used on a biomicroscope. Unlike most ophthalmic manufactures, which start with an off the shelf camera, the elite has proprietary features that make it excel above and beyond our competitors.

Involvement in trials elevates the practice as a whole. It gets us in print. Our name appears in the study publication and it gives me, as a principle investigator, the opportunity to present the outcomes at meetings, which leads to greater visibility for our practice nationally. It’s another way of setting our practice apart from competition.

W hether it’s your practice’s first foray into EHRs or your practice is upgrading to a new version of the software or a new system, the HealthIT.gov website provides ophthalmology practices valuable insight.
