Some of the areas seem like they are more hospital based, so maybe having different divisions of the software, being only home care or hospice, or only hospital might make it even more individualized. Overall, we do appreciate simplicity, but we do have to have a very clear picture of our skill that we are seeing a patient for. If there is not very specific information other than basic check boxes, we risk insurance denial. So at this time we rely on writing very detailed notes in order to avoid this

I have and will continue to recommend MDI (a Nextech EMR system) to other ophthalmology/retina practices through the AAOE etalk. MDI was developed by an ophthalmologist specific for ophthalmologists and the specific needs they have which makes it very easy to use. Uploading the images is easy. We are also able to share information with other practices on the system.

Cons
Alora
  • It would be nice if there were some sort of alert when an incoming fax has arrived. Sort of like a ding or a bell notification at the top similar to an email, rather than having to go check every so often. We appreciate being very responsive.
  • If we were able to customize every single section for each type of visit, that would be very helpful as we have noticed that we would like more details in some places and less in others.
  • During initial training, going through each type of visit together from start to finish would be helpful. Addressing every single scenario that might happen, such as recerts or discharges. I think doing several of those from start to finish together would be beneficial as repetition is key.

  • Being able to fax notes immediately to referring doctors and PCPs is very important. It saves on time and paper/toner not having to print out and then fax.
  • Not having to develop and/or print out the pictures/FAs and having them upload immediately so doctor can treat at the same visit.
