Case Study: Bowden Eye & Associates achieves 100% anytime access to patient records and Meaningful Use compliance with Nextech EMR

Bowden Eye & Associates - Customer Case Study

Bowden Eye & Associates is a four-location ophthalmology and optometry practice in Jacksonville, FL, founded in 2001 and home to North Florida’s only ambulatory ophthalmic surgery center. The practice relied on paper charts spread across sites, which meant records were often not where patients were, courier costs were high, and clinicians lacked reliable, timely access to complete patient information.

Bowden implemented Nextech’s customizable EMR, using focused “super user” training and a six- to eight-month go-live to meet Meaningful Use Stage 1. The system delivered anytime, anywhere access plus inventory and analytics tools, eliminating courier costs, putting records at doctors’ fingertips 100% of the time, improving staff efficiency, speeding insurance verification and payments, and qualifying the practice for Meaningful Use incentives.
