Sightview 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

1st of all we want with this software due tot capability to integrate directly to what seemed like a quality EHR system. The billing features would only be further enhanced once we could implement EHR down the road, however we purchased this program to use only for billing initially. We were sold on the "lcustomer service calls answered live 98% of the time". The reality was about the exact opposite. We can call numerous times in a day, either going straight to voicemail, or holding for 20 minutes then a voicemail and never recieve a call back & rarely within the same day, so we just keep calling. Further, our issues never seem to be a high priority to them, even when they feel URGENT to us. The week we implemented our contract, we were assigned a trainer, and received emails stating she was out of the office for the next 3 weeks with limited phone and email access. Nice start, huh!? & they had new phone sysytem so we also couldn't get customer service to answer the phone. We called our sales rep, and he was out to. We called and emailed other trainers, similar replies, out for weeks. Bottom line, M-plus took on to much, to soon and was not & &/ still not prepared, staffed & capable of servicing and training new customers. We have been with them now for going on 10 months with severe program issues due to lack of training and information. We schedule a training and they want to reschedule. They want to do everything on a recorded webinar when we need direct training & specific directions. There are significant shortcomings we are still coming across. Granted they have customers of 16 years who are happy but right now they are not capable of helping new customers. They are not personable & don't make their customers feel like their business really matters. In attending a recent users group meeting, there was nothing of special note to make us feel warm & fuzzy about being a part of their program. After all the problems we have had, even the CEO said "let me know if you need anything" but didn't really respond much when I indicated they completely missed many sales opportunities by not taking care of us from day one! (As it had been our intention to go EHR by year end)

We are a multi-specialty group that had been using iO Practiceware for almost three years. I was initially apprehensive, mainly because of stories I had heard of much decreased productivity after adopting EMRs. I have been thrilled to find that the opposite is true. In fact, by the third day after implementation, I was able to see a full load of patients with only a thirty minute lag. However, I do believe this success is entirely system-dependent. I ran into a physician that had used iO Practiceware in our office and then moved out of state to a practice that used another EMR (one which claims to have the highest number of installations in ophthalmology). He was extremely frustrated because after six months, it was still taking him twice as long to enter patient data. The drop down menus he was using in his EMR were very cumbersome. iO Practiceware, on the other hand, uses a touchscreen system which is lightning quick and simple to use. At this point, I feel it would be most instructive to list the attributes of iO Practiceware that make it so efficient to use: 1. The system is well thought-out and organized. There is an alert button which allows important "notes to self" to be placed on a separate screen. For example, I use a treat and extend protocol on exudative macular degeneration patients. I have a note in this section indicating the current treatment interval for a given patient. This alert screen can be accessed with a push of a button from any other screen. This precludes the need to flip back to previous visits to find a note indicating a patient's treatment interval. 2. There is a highlights screen which is very well organized. It lists the previous procedures and surgeries done on a patient. The previous retinal drawing is also shown. From this screen, a chronological list of previous visions and pressures can be accessed by touching the current vision or pressure on that screen. The font size used on this screen is very large so that information can be seen at a glance from even 5 feet away. 3. A separate interpretation and report for testing such as OCT or FA can be accessed at any time. Also op notes for lasers can be accessed at any time. 4. Referral letters are easy to generate and an updated list of physician phone numbers are in the system. The letters are sent by a simple push of a button. 5. The system is easily customizable. A computer savvy person can add treatment templates in a matter of minutes without having to hire an expensive programmer. 6. The monthly maintenance agreement cost was very reasonable when compared to other systems we looked at. 7. Service is very personalized in that we are usually able to work with the same person on an ongoing basis. 8. Information is stored on an on-site server rather than in the cloud. This has many advantages in terms of speed of information access. There is virtually no lag when images are retrieved. 9. Documentation of patient information is extremely thorough. All bases are covered. In fact, a practice consultant that does practice self-audits remarked that this was the best system she had encountered so far in terms of documentation. In summary we have been very happy with iO Practiceware. It has increased my efficiency by 10 to 15 percent over paper charts. Also, documentation is a hundred percent better than patient charts.

painfully slow implementation. Slow software. Bugs and problems every day. Had to switch to a new EHR after 30 days.

We have been using Management Plus since 2012 and have been extremely satisfied with our decision to purchase their complete system. Pros: User Friendly, budget conscious, complete PM, Optical & EHR integrated software, FANTASTIC customer service (located in the USA) and totally customizable to your practice. You don't have to wait until all customers want to change or add something to the EHR template. You can do it anytime. Not just fixed reports...You can customize your own reports which give you lots of flexibility when owners/doctors request specialized reports. We currently use IRIS Registry and have received all incentives through Meaningful Use Stage 2. Management Plus has integrated successfully and we do not have to report manually on CQMs or PQRS anymore. Cons: None come to mind

We have been using Management Plus for over 15 years and it just keeps getting better. The ability to customize the EHRs has been a great benefit for us. The support is top notch. I would recommend anyone jumping into the EHR pool to take a look at Management Plus.
