Tailored to Different Sub-Specialties—Drawing Tool Benefits Retina Specialists
Harinderjit Singh, MD, FRCSC – Southeast Retina Center, Augusta, GA
(25 workstations)

| MaximEyes SQL is a very user-friendly EHR software. It is professionally made with input from practicing ophthalmologists and it can be tailored to different subspecialties in ophthalmology. As a retina specialist, I find the drawing tool to be very beneficial. While I am new to using EHR since our practice recently made the leap from paper to electronic, I find that EHR increasingly becomes a lot easier with time. We hope that in several months our practice will become totally paperless. There is always a learning curve to make any changes in practice management; however, transitioning to MaximEyes EHR was a lot easier than other conversions I’ve done in the past. |

MaximEyes Archives Tests, Translates Measurements and More
Carlton Yuen, MD, Aloha Vision Consultants, Honolulu, HI (35 workstations)

MaximEyes has helped our practice become more efficient and productive as the software allows for easy archiving of tests and access to electronic medical charts no matter where you are located. With the built-in e-prescribing tool we can submit regulatory compliant
e-prescriptions to pharmacies and prevent interactions and errors by transferring patient information from a MaximEyes exam record directly into the e-prescribing site. The new estimated co-pay function is a welcome addition. The 3D drawing tool is far superior to other products I’ve seen on the market. It translates measurements from the drawing into written findings on the exam to further enhance patient documentation details. Our office is currently gearing up to attest for the Medicare EHR incentive program by demonstrating meaningful use. With the help of MaximEyes, which is a certified EHR, the software will assist by allowing us to audit our performance and capture the required information from our patients. |

Maintain, Compare and Analyze Data Over Long Periods of Time
Jennifer Balentine, MD Northwest Eye Associates, Portland, OR (10 workstations)

|
| One of the main reasons I chose MaximEyes was because it was an easy program for me to customize. MaximEyes provides a very convenient way to maintain, compare and analyze data over long periods of time. Records are never lost and they are always accessible. Images and data from exams are stored in an efficient way. Referring physician letters are readily available with a few clicks.

MaximEyes SQL EHR is Extremely Intuitive and Easy to Use
Patricia Buehler, MD, MPH – InFocus Eye Care, Bend, OR (21 workstations) |
|
| I love how MaximEyes SQL electronic health records can be customized to meet my needs so I do not have to change the way I see patients. I can spend my time on patient care looking at the patient, not at a computer screen. I love the 3D drawing element for gonioscopy and anterior and posterior segment exams. I believe the built-in coding compliance tools will prevent lost charges, increase the accuracy of my charting and increase reimbursements. And the two-way ePrescribe integration with MaximEyes SQL and DrFirst® was very simple for my staff to learn and has saved so much staff time. Once I select the drug and strength, or even just the drug name, the system automatically fills in the information with the most commonly used settings. |

EHR Aides in Tracking and Managing Patients
Alan Faulkner, MD – Aloha Laser Vision, Honolulu, Hawaii (18 workstations) |
|
| MaximEyes EHR automates a number of tasks that save time and money. I have designed a custom treatment form that helps me monitor changes in patients. I also use this form in the laser suite. Once I finish an exam, it is simple to code the visit and determine a return date for the patient. EPrescribing allows techs to send orders for any surgical medications directly to the pharmacy. Tracking and coding information is easier, coding and collection is more efficient, and we can deal with surgery issues quickly.

E&M Code Checker Increases Revenue by 20%
Jay W. Henry, OD, MS – Pickerington, OH (12 workstations) |
|
| Once an examination is completed, the E&M Code Checker reviews EMR data against Medicare's Evaluation and Management standards. MaximEyes instantly recommends the appropriate billing level so I can code at the highest level possible; therefore, it increases my revenue by 20% by not under-coding office visits. |

Efficient EMR System Returns Substantial Profits
Loren Azevedo, OD, FAAO - Arcata, CA (33 workstations) |
|
| The past five years have been revolutionary for our office. In 2004, we had five doctors with an annual AGS of $1.8 million. Because MaximEyes helped us improve efficiencies so much, we were still able to grow the business and reach $2.2 million a year, with only two doctors!
