Ophthalmology EHR/EMR Software
Like all providers, ophthalmologists need EHR/EMR software that helps them provide better care to patients and run their medical practice smoothly.
Unlock the Best Software Integrations for Opthamology
Before the introduction of AdvancedMD open API software, patients had distinct medical records in separate Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems for each healthcare provider. The primary care doctor’s EHR could not exchange information with the specialist’s system, and the specialist’s system couldn’t communicate with the laboratory’s platform, significantly limiting comprehensive care and patient control over their health data.
In simpler terms, our open API enables effortless electronic information sharing between you and your patients or seamless integration with other software systems when required. Within the realm of EHRs, the ability to transfer data from one system to another and vice versa is paramount.
Moreover, not every EHR system may offer all the functions and features an organization requires to efficiently run its operations. This is where the open API proves indispensable, granting access to software capabilities that may not be available internally.
Integrating an open API with your ophthalmology practice’s EHRs is crucial for enhancing the delivery, coordination, and efficiency of clinic services. This ultimately results in improved patient outcomes, reduced errors, cost savings, and the capacity to make data-driven decisions.

Open APIs Improve Telehealth Platforms
Open APIs streamline the process of incorporating telehealth platforms, establishing the foundation for our current virtual healthcare landscape.
Pre-pandemic telehealth remained an option that many healthcare providers had not yet embraced. Nevertheless, the onset of COVID-19 compelled these organizations to swiftly adopt telehealth solutions, a transition greatly facilitated by the flexibility and functionality of open APIs.
Customizable care to match your workflows
Unfortunately, not all EHR/EMR software platforms are designed with the unique needs of ophthalmologists in mind. This specialty requires unique functionality in an EHR that may not be available in a system intended broadly for any and every medical specialty.
The AdvancedMD ophthalmology EHR is designed specifically for ophthalmology practices. Our software designers created it to meet the unique needs of a vision care specialist. One of the best ways to improve patient care is to have a software system that supports your daily clinical workflows. For ophthalmologists, that means a system you can customize based on the type of vision care you provide.
Streamlined templates
Templates are one of the best ways to streamline the care you provide without losing any of the important details from a patient appointment. Ophthalmology templates from AdvancedMD are available for a wide variety of common conditions you treat, including:
- Blurred vision
- Conjunctivitis
- Corneal conditions
- Corrective lenses
- Ectropion
- Entropion
- Laser surgery
- Lens evaluation
- Ocular surgeries
- Vision loss
You can also create custom templates in our software for specific conditions that you treat that are not as common, or to match with your workflows. These templates make it easy to document each patient encounter in detail, making sure you don’t miss out on critical information that your billing and coding team needs, or that a payer will require for reimbursement.
Simplified documentation
With AdvancedMD it’s easier to document each ophthalmology patient encounter. You can use our built-in shortcut keys to quickly fill in redundant or repeat information required by your payers, without typing it in every time. You can also use diagrams and other tools to document care and diagnoses for your patients. This can speed up the claims process by providing supporting information payers will need for reimbursement.
Technological advancements for proactive patient care
Our software offers the most advanced tools to support ophthalmologists in caring for patients. AdvancedMD is a fully integrated suite of solutions that connects your practice management, EHR, and medical coding and billing software in a single platform. We use the latest technology and innovations to continually improve the way you care for your patients.
Diagnostic device integrations
Ophthalmologists rely on external diagnostic devices to help patients understand what is going on with their vision, like keratometers and autorefractors. AdvancedMD makes it easy to connect your EHR to these external devices. We have hundreds of application programming interfaces (APIs) available for some of the most common external systems, and we can also help you create custom APIs based on your unique needs. If you have a diagnostic device or other external software system you want to seamlessly connect to your AdvancedMD EHR/EMR software, our team of IT professionals can help.
AI & machine learning
Artificial intelligence and machine learning will have a big role to play in the future of medicine. These technologies can help providers better understand patients’ medical history and diagnosis, and recommend the right treatment for each individual person. Our software employs AI and machine learning to find and recommend evidence-based treatments and alert providers with clean, simple EHR alerts about potential risks or benefits of treatment options.
Clinical Decision Support
We offer a proprietary tool that alerts ophthalmology providers to the preventive care and screenings that a patient needs. It uses all the information in the patient’s chart—personal medical history, family history, diagnoses, and current conditions—to recommend care.
Extensive reporting tools to get the big picture
Our reporting tools are designed to help your independent or smaller ophthalmology practice see the big picture, without poring over data all the time. We make it easy to create reports on key patient metrics, including patient volume, no-shows or late arrivals, types of appointments (chief complaints), procedures, and more. You can use this information to make better decisions to grow your ophthalmology practice.
Reporting tools from AdvancedMD also meet all the requirements for CMS and value-based care programs with multiple payers, including MIPS and MACRA. We make it easy to pull the information you need to report on quality metrics, cost metrics, and more. We automatically format the reports so the data is exactly the way payers need it. You can also create your own customized reports if you have specific metrics you want to track and report, or you have other unique reporting needs based on being in an alternative payment model (APM) besides MIPS and MACRA. If you’re not sure what types of reports you need, or how to get the information required by CMS and commercial payers for value-based care, talk to our team of helpful customer service professionals. We’ll help you build any report to meet your requirements.
