A Compulink Case Study
Mountain View Eye Associates (Altoona, PA) switched from Compulink to Eyefinity/OfficeMate and ExamWriter in 2009 hoping to save money, but the move cost the practice $15,000, months of lost productivity and a year-long delay in implementing EHR. Routine tasks that had been quick—daily charge breakdowns, scheduling, ordering glasses—and the clinical workflow of exams became cumbersome or impossible, and staff morale suffered.
After two months the practice returned to Compulink, restoring practice management first and then EHR; the integrated system and Eyecare Advantage screens supported clinical workflows and let staff toggle easily between functions. The result was regained efficiency and staff relief—doctors could focus on patient care again, avoiding the hidden costs and frustration of the cheaper, less functional solution.
