Furthermore, we provide outstanding service and support after the sale. That is why many of our clients have been with us for so long - our unrivaled committment to being a trusted and honest business partner.
But don't take our word for it, read what our doctors have to say about Crowell Systems and Medformix®.
As you well know paper slows you down compared to EMR. I could go on and on but the main points as I see it are:
I'll never understand the resistance to the EMR but I recall some people never thought the automobile would be a lasting thing either.
In 2009, Dr. DeYarman was named one of "USA Today's Most Influential Doctors in America."
I see 4 to 5 more full exams per day with Medformix® XXV. Paper is much slower.
We made the change over 6 years ago to electronic medical records. We visited several sites using Compulink, Maximeyes, and
Medformix®. Decided to go with Medformix® for several reasons:
I am very glad we made the change. I would never go back to paper.
The capability to design customized referral reports has enabled me to get one-page documents out to my referrers on the same day the patient is seen; they have to wait a week to get a 10-12 page data dump from other specialists in my area. This has probably been the most important factor that has helped me grow my referral base in the 7 years I've been using Medformix®.
I have been using Medformix® since 1990. I have been extremely pleased with not only the software but the service that comes with it. Our practice has grown to a 5 doctor group that offers comprehensive eyecare including laser vision correction, cataract surgery and complete optical services. Medformix® has allowed the practice to grow without costly software changes.
As new equipment has been developed it has been easy integrating the new technology into Medformix®. Each time there has been a government mandated change to the software the support team at Crowell has been on top of it so as to ensure that our practice stays compliant with any new regulations.
If you are seriously looking at EMR then I would strongly suggest that you take a look at Medformix® and the team at Crowell. We have been a customer and they have become our friends in the 20 years that we have worked together.
Having implemented Electronic Medical Records over sixteen years ago I am often asked by my colleagues what should they look for in a considering such a system. I know that this is a very challenging task for anyone to undertake. The phrase "You don't know what you don't know" applies here. I believe it is impossible to get the decision making information you need by simply reading about systems, talking to colleagues and vendors, or attending meetings. This is a big decision. You should see the system in action. Visit a colleague's office. Spend at least a day observing how seamlessly and efficiently it fits into the practice. Talk to the staff. This will allow you to compare systems in a real world setting. The time to find out how these work is before you buy.
Medformix® XXV integrates with my office in a way that really must be seen to be truly appreciated. The Patient Traffic Controller tells me where a patient is, who they are with, their appointment and arrival time, and if they are ready for me. This unique part of Medformix® must be seen to be appreciated. Data input is extremely fast and efficient whether it is done by the doctor or a scribe. Training new staff is very easy. There are several ways that can be used to input data. New staff learn very quickly the available mouse option is not the most efficient way to complete a patient's record. Medformix® gives you several, more efficient, additional options.
I find the prospect of the new software very exciting, what an adventure to be able to use all of the new things available. The New Crowell System is an entire re-write of the software and offers many of the features we have all wanted. Now, you can document for the Federal Government exactly what you do, meeting all aspects of, "Meaningful Use", in your practice. You have the statistics and all of the supporting data to prove that you are compliant.
You have all of the data of every prescription, data detailed analysis of why you wrote each one. Everything is linked to a detailed problem list. No detail of the prescription process is missed.
But, the one really outstanding thing about Crowell Systems is its way of documenting your visits. Other systems on the market use the, "point and click". Crowell has done away that (while it is one option). Medical records are entered much faster and more easily done with the Crowell technique-- and you never have to touch your mouse!
In a large system, this means hours saved. The notes are accurately done so that the Doctors can go home early. If you don’t believe me, attempt the notes in a "point and click" system and it will take all morning before the notes on one patient.
The New Crowell Systems will meet all of your needs. You need to see it in action to understand the new features.
I've been with Crowell for 19 years. We just upgraded to the newest XXV version of their software and I couldn't be happier. I've looked at other EHR software and nothing comes close to XXV's capabilities.
Working with Medformix® XXV software makes daily life quick and efficient. From accessing patient information, scheduling, processing glasses and contact lens orders, posting payments and insurance checks to sending electronic remittances is easy and convenient. You will be amazed by the things you can do with the click of the mouse in this system. Support from the staff at Crowell is by far the best I've ever worked with-- always just a phone call away..
