A Compulink Case Study
Orange Coast Eye Center, a single-location ophthalmology practice led by Dr. Jared R. Younger (2 MDs, 1 OD, 11 staff), faced the industry-wide push to adopt electronic health records to meet Medicare requirements and improve clinical efficiency, billing accuracy, and patient communication. The challenge was finding an integrated system that could manage complex front-office workflows, streamline documentation and coding, and support meaningful use reporting without disrupting clinical care.
By implementing Compulink’s Ophthalmology Advantage EHR and Practice Management suite in 2011, the practice gained features such as Encounter Favorites, intra-office To Do messaging, Alerts, built-in coding logic, integrated billing/reporting, image integration, a patient portal, and VueSimulator education tools. The result: roughly two minutes saved per visit (about a 10% increase in patient volume), coding/posting in as little as 15 seconds, reduced overdue accounts receivable, improved revenue capture and compliance, enhanced patient education, and successful Stage 1 Meaningful Use attestation.
