OD Professional technology
Creates more time and improves your practice.
Greater use of technology is often equated with a loss of the human touch yet every minute saved through hardware and software is time optometrists and their staff can spend with patients.
The amount of time taken up by record-keeping and inefficient exams can easily exceed the time spent actually speaking with patients about their health. OD Professional's premier eyecare technology drives the patient care not just the paperwork, allowing the doctor to administer eye exams more quickly,
And patients aren't the only ones benefiting. OD Professional has allowed many optometrists to reduce average consultation times threefold. Some have also been able to reduce work hours for themselves and their staff by 25 per cent! (see testimonials )
Efficiency is sometimes viewed as normalizing disingenuous care, yet a more efficient office is better able to provide its patients with the information they need and is better equipped to provide a higher standard of care. |

Doctors and their staff using OD Professional use an internal computer network to access, update and transfer patient records digitally, eliminating the need for storehouses of paper files and speeding up staff access to information. Communication in the office is handled with free and fast instant-messaging programs instead of office phones. As a result the time spent on administrative activities during appointments has been reduced virtually to zero.
OD Professional's technology is also aimed squarely at improving the experience patients have during their office visit. Instrument linking provides notable “wow” factor. Walk-out statements and prescriptions are printed out at the front desk immediately following a check-up.
The efficiencies achieved as a result of this extensive use of technology allow optometrists more time to talk with patients face-to-face, free of the bookkeeping obligations that can bog down typical eye exams. The approach is popular with patients. ODPro technology actually takes optometrists back to the level of interaction patients used to expect from a doctor. Diagnostic machines collect data - they don't render care. What matters is still personal time with the doctor. OD Professional users have claimed, "You couldn't pay me to go back to the old way of doing things."
