The wrong EHR can be frustrating and difficult to use, defeating the entire purpose. Avoid frustration by carefully assessing your options and choosing the right system for your needs.

It is estimated that every day the average adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day.1 Some decisions are big. Others are small and almost done subconsciously or out of habit.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) called for immediate intervention to address concerns with the Routine Cataract Removal with Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation episode-based cost measure in a Sept. 26 letter (PDF) to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Upon conducting research with its members, the AAO has uncovered discrepancies in the patient-level data files that arise when performing second eye cataract surgery within 31 to 90 days after the initial surgery.
