ezChartWriter is a powerful ophthalmic EMR system, yet is easy-to-use for even computer novices. It includes a built-in word processor, SOAP based encounter creator, report editor, Rx logbook feature, reminders and clinical notes documentation tool in one application. The front-end allows you to organize your patient demographics, Rx's and insurance information. Additional modules for insurance claim billing, appointment scheduling and creating recall lists are available. You can even import/export your patient demographics with ease. Program Structure ezChartWriter uses familiar images as the cornerstone of the user interface. For example, to create a patient chart, one click on the "NEW" drawer of the FILE CABINET gets you there. A patient chart looks onscreen similar to what you would see in the paper format. Encounters, Rx's and notes are presented in lists, that can be double clicked to call up the appropriate report. The report editor is similar to standard word processors seen in Windows XP. Encounters Using the familiar SOAP format (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), you can create a "normal" patient encounter in about 90 seconds. Included are tools to generate common ophthalmic data as well as Rx Wizards (to create medication, spectacle, or contact lens Rx's). Reports ezChartWriter can also help you save time by generating letters, reports and patient handouts. Many pre-existing sample reports are already included or you can easily build your own! Compatibility Since ezChartWriter can export data in both text and PDF formats, you can send your encounters, Rx's and letters in email or simply create backup copies that can be opened on any computer.
