| pubmed-article:7231900 | pubmed:abstractText | An integrated ophthalmic office computer system is now functional at five sites. The system automates clerical functions such as appointment scheduling, billing, and preparation of doctors' schedules and insurance forms. It eliminates the need for filing and storage of records. The medical system records the history and physical examination of the eye, offers a broad differential diagnosis, writes prescriptions for glasses and drugs, types referral letters, orders contact lenses from specifications, and catalogues photographic and other patient data vital to the medical record. The accounting system prepares complex accounting records and general ledgers for the combined practice and the individual physician. | lld:pubmed |
