The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In ophthalmology clinics, technicians are stuck entering medical histories into NextGen EMR, preparing custom care instructions in Microsoft Word, and sending post-op messages through Outlook. These tasks are tedious and error-prone, demanding constant attention from skilled staff. The time spent on manual charting and communication means less face-to-face care and more risk of mistakes in patient records.
