The software combines advanced features such as auto coding and touch screen with ophthalmology-specific practice management software, image, and EHR systems. Its touchscreen interface eliminates drop-down menus and offers a big-button design, making recording notes easier in the exam room. Key features include insurance management, patient records, inventory management, appointment management, and recall tracking. Their system also automates clinical follow-ups, referral letters, and coding. The team at iO Practiceware designed their product keeping in view the needs of ophthalmologists, offering tools that help them to work more efficiently and improve patient care.
