To give optometrists and office staff practical tools and hands-on experience to guide the selection and adoption of health information technology, the AOA is hosting “Building the Paperless Practice: AOA’s Electronic Health Records Seminar,” January 25-26, 2008 at the Gaylord Texan™ Resort Hotel in Grapevine, TX.

Registration for this exclusive conference is sold out.

With federal regulations changing quickly, and new technology moving even faster, it is vitally important for optometrists to make informed decisions concerning electronic health records.

AOA’s Washington office will set the stage: What optometrists need to know to comply with federal standards and how health information technology may affect future reimbursement. The seminar schedule includes other presentations that will cover aspects of implementing electronic health records (EHRs) in a practice, interoperability and security issues related to EHR products, and guidance on what to consider when investing in EHR and e-prescribing products, as shared by experienced optometrists who have already adopted health information technology.

In addition, at least six companies with different approaches to records management will be on hand to describe their systems and offer hands-on evaluation.

Listed below are the Panel Sponsors of the program: 

  • Compulink
  • EMR Logic
  • EyeCodeRight
  • First Insight
  • OfficeMate
  • VersaSuite

A mini exhibit hall will allow optometrists and office staff to talk with vendors about their specific needs. The above Panel Sponsors, Crowell Systems, Crystal Practice Management, Eloqui Incorporated, QM Systems, LLC, and TopCon Medical Systems will be featured in the Seminar's Exhibit Hall.
