They're the only telemedicine practicing private clinic in their area. The offices each consist of a 100BT network of iMacs with laser printers, digital cameras and scanners. Each iMac is relegated to a specific task in the front office and on the sales floor while every exam room has an iMac for the electronic medical recordse. Each physician and optician uses a Palm III or V and syncs daily to keep their appointments and surgical schedules straight. Our documents, patient data and charts are all stored in PDF and each station uses Adobe Acrobat 4 to fill out forms.
Acrobat forms are the secret to our success.
Custom forms for each physician allows us flexibility and security. QuickBooks Pro 4 is our point of sale software. Custom templates allow us to use it for Insurance billing as well as optical inventory. The only NT machine is a Dell PowerEdge P3 running FoxPro to allow 5th Avenue Eyes to store digital images off-site for retrieval and referral. So we designed and built our own which works better than any of us dreamed.
