### Most mentioned pros

- One of the standout features is the iPad app, which allows our doctors to remain fully present and engaged with patients during exams, rather than having to turn away to use a computer.
- I would say that the program strives to be the best and the consistent updates and changes is a sure sign.
- The intuitive design of the interface ensures that our workflow is smooth, allowing us to focus more on patient care.

### Most mentioned cons

- The separation of PM and EHR, claim processing times out all the time, you can't change patient payments, using non-vsp lab products is a pain, posting orders that have a "warning" like opposite signs or maui orders dont process.
- Sometimes the updates can be difficult Missing features that you were used to using the day before
- More scrolling. If I’m using a 24 inch monitor I should not have to constantly scroll up and down to finish an exam element.

- Reviewed: August 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

My experience with EEHR is from the beginning. This EEHR continues to grow and develop month by month and year by year. I like it, my staff likes it and patients really think it is cool that all of their all exam information is captured on a small tablet. I use a mini iPad.

#### Pros

The iPad application. The mobility of having patient information at my fingers tips at any time or place.

#### Cons

The software works for me, so I have no complaints.

#### Reasons for switching to Eyefinity Encompass

I wanted the iPad application. I was tired of having my back or shoulder to my patients.

#### Vendor response

The very simple eye exams are easy but people with multiple issues take forever to complete an exam. Poor ability to notify front desk about referrals, not easy to find glasses orders or contact orders without logging into a separate system.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 3/5

#### Pros

Auto fill capabilities make it helpful. Integrated with my autophoropter which is great.

#### Cons

Scrolling. More scrolling. If I’m using a 24 inch monitor I should not have to constantly scroll up and down to finish an exam element. Fit everything within the screen. Don’t take up half my work area on static information I don’t need when performing an exam. Inability to easily see what is in the practice management side. So much of what we do involves the front deck and opticians, who only use the pm side. There is no way to communicate to front desk or see if glasses or contacts were ordered without logging into a separate system.

#### Vendor response

Hi Dr. N, We’re happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed the autofill capabilities of Eyefinity EHR and appreciate you taking the time to leave an honest review. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble viewing orders and that the current screen setup is challenging. You may be pleased to know our Eyefinity EHR team is working toward eliminating scrolls and clicks with each software update—we hope the incremental changes improve your experience!

Great support when we switched over from Exam Writer and continued support to this day after years of use! I absolutely love how intuitive the iPad is making it easy for new staff to learn. Overall my office flow is so much more efficient. One of the best decisions I ever made was switching to Eyefinity EHR.

#### Ratings breakdown

I love the standardization with Eyefinity EHR. Nothing gets overlooked during an exam because the process is the same, no matter the patient. But my favorite feature is using the iPad. It allows me to show patients what I’m doing in real time and makes the exam more personal.

#### Cons

Not being able to see sticky notes outside of a visit

Cloud based and portability with the iPad were the main features however I loved it was also easy to understand.

### STAY WITH OFFICEMATE

It's basic and when it works it's fine, but it has too delicate of an equilibrium to be useful, especially with billing. Glasses orders literally are stressful to staff and take MUCH too long to do correctly. If a mistake is made, it is not easily fixable.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5

- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

Ability to access remotely.

#### Cons

Frequent glitches or system not accessible during workday recently. Concerns and recommended updates disregarded. VSP Premier Edge advertised on home page- "Premier" misleads patients into thinking that a doctor who sells more VSP products and frames is better that a doctor who uses other products.

#### Reasons for switching to Eyefinity Encompass

they told me it was "upgrade" -- yrs later not as functional as OfficeMate

Okay software. Not bad, but nothing great stands out either. It does have high ease of use and keeps documents secure. It lacks in customability compared to similar softwares.

#### Ratings breakdown

### Happy with EHR but not EPM

- Overall rating: 2/5
- Reviewer: Lisa P.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

I feel like the EHR is an excellent product, but unfortunately the above 3 issues are going to cause me to look into other software solutions in my practice in the future. It would behoove Eyefinity to reach out to some of their customers' key staff/billing/optical managers on how to improve EPM.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 2/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

It is cloud based. I actually really like the EHR part.

#### Cons

1. Ledger/insurance pending quick reference for a patient is not visible on the overview page, making it more time consuming for my staff to look up. It also makes it more difficult for front desk staff to look up for collecting fees from patients. 2. Ordering glasses is MUCH more time consuming for my staff than it was with Officemate. This cost my practice money because it ties up staff doing orders instead of working on other tasks. This = more staff required to run my office. 3. The inability of key staff persons to override things in the system. I understand theft prevention, but there can be other systems of checks and balances put in place in a practice. I get it. I have been stolen from but drs cannot rely on software to do the monitoring for them.

#### Reasons for switching to Eyefinity Encompass

cloud based. Wanted to switch to product that I could access remotely.

### EPM-would not recommend

- Overall rating: 1/5

EPM is horrible. Office Mate setup and fluidity was much more user friendly. I have used several different Practice Management software over many years and EPM is by far the least user friendly I have ever encountered. It is a "work harder not smarter" practice management program.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5

#### Pros

It is cloud based. The ability to have more than one screen open at a time.

#### Cons

Creating invoices entails multiple unnecessary steps. Having to return invoices if an error is made. There should be simple delete options. Having to return to add insurance after the fact. Not being able to add Payers and insurance plans. Not being able to attach materials to payers. The lack of fluidity. The lack of patients statement customization. The lack of customized reports. Not being able to select 2 different insurances on one invoice (per line item). Lack of knowledge of EF customer support. Patient balances separated in Pt balance and insurance balance. The lack of a clear ledgers/transactions.

#### Pros

EPM is alot easier to use than our old system. It is alot simplier . I love the comanagement aspect of this system. I am able to keep track of all of my insurance I have filed without having to leave alot of notes in alot of different places.

#### Cons

I don't like that I can't add information. Some of the preloaded reasons for example a return doesn't apply and I like to be specific. I don't like where the notes are. I would prefer to have them at the top of the demo page where they would stand out and be easy to see by everyone.

#### Cons

I wish that the software was more seamless from EHR to EPM. I wish I had only one program that did everything. I know that this is by design and may not be a reasonable request.

#### Pros

The EHR is mostly functionable. most menus are laid out and the memory works although I prefer the templates of examwriter. No personalization available here.

#### Cons

the practice management software is the worse I have ever dealt with by leaps and bounds. One month later and it isn't communicating with it's insurance sister VSP. Was never set up. THus I have no payments from VSP this month. Lens pricing is slow, not all contact products exist, insurance billing a disaster. No way to seperate invoices for different insurances - like pair after cataract.

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Customer support: 1.5/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

They are nice. Unfortunately the product is incomplete and the support team is left trying to save a sinking ship.

#### Cons

Product is incomplete and does not offer basic features expected in a practice management program...i.e. It does not calculate receipts so there is no way to track your gross net income over time.

#### Pros

I like the fact that Eyefinity is constantly working to improve the software. There are lots of features that make my life easier - the Online Scheduler, Electronic Remittance Payments from Insurance Companies, Integration with TriZetto for Claims Filing to name a few.

#### Cons

Nobody likes it when software doesn't work like you expect it to; but on the occasion when that's happened to our office, Eyefinity Tech Support has always been friendly and helpful, working to correct any issues.

#### Reasons for choosing Eyefinity Encompass

We converted from OfficeMate/ExamWriter and the flow and transfer of information worked best for us; plus we were already familiar with the level of customer service available and appreciated that we could count on continued support.

#### Reasons for switching to Eyefinity Encompass

We wanted something without a server requirement.

### Stay with ExamWriter

- Overall rating: 2/5

ExamWriter is much better clinically than EHR. For doctors it is easier to follow, easier to document. We wouldn't have change to EHR if Officemate was more compatible with VSP and billing process. It's like EHR was developed and whether it was any good or not, Eyefinity was going to stay with it for some reason that had nothing to do with clinical efficiency. I would tell someone to stay with ExamWriter.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 2/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

It links with EPM for orders, billing. Fax letter feature is nice. Pharmacy link is nice.

#### Cons

Clumsy, cumbersome, inefficient, obviously not written by a doctor. The iPad version is so different than the desktop version it is like a different program. The CL order and finalizing process is not intuitive at all. Auto coding feature is 100% wrong with every VSP patient. Way too many steps to achieve simple processes like printing an Rx. And the inability to "name" an Rx outside of it's limited list of Rx types is limiting. (i.e. Hobby/Sports is a category. You can't label an Rx "Music" or "Golf". Dumb. Try ordering an SCL in one eye and hybrid in the other. RGP orders do not forward properly. The CL trial feature is confusing when using multiple CLs with multiple Cl types. It is lame that you have to finalize a record before sending a letter for a referral without "Preliminary" showing up on the letter to a specialist. Sometimes there is no time finalize a record before sending the referral during an exam. The need to commit a "Plan" before a diagnosis is not at all practical. It does not follow a SOAP process that all doctors are trained to follow. The body indicator feature simple gets in the way of clinical drawings when drawing a pathology.

#### Reasons for choosing Eyefinity Encompass

It was better than Maximeyes. If we had known that Officemate/ExamWriter was going to be available we would have never changed.

#### Reasons for switching to Eyefinity Encompass

Had to. We were told ExamWriter would no longer be supported.
