Case Study: Northwest Optometry, LLC achieves a smooth EHR transition and improved chronic disease management with Compulink's Eyecare Advantage

45 year old practice embraces electronic health records

Northwest Optometry, LLC is a full‑scope private practice in Englewood, Ohio run by Drs. Joseph and Peter Studebaker, with a 45‑year chart history and a focus on contact lens fitting and medical eye care. Faced with an increasing volume of paper records and diagnostic images and growing administrative demands from third‑party payers, the partners decided to proactively adopt an electronic health record system to streamline care and compliance.

They implemented Compulink’s Eyecare Advantage EHR, chosen for its end‑to‑end integration and device compatibility, and the transition was smooth thanks to strong implementation support. The system consolidated diagnostic images (including spectral domain OCT), billing, prescribing (e‑Rx), and recall management, improved chronic‑disease tracking and communication with other clinicians, boosted patient satisfaction, and highlighted the value of early EHR customization to realize efficiency gains.
