Eye Chart

Ophthalmology Charge Capture and HL7 Billing Interface

EyeChart puts the charge capture tool on the web and into doctors' hands. It's extremely simple to use and FAST! Doctors who reject computer systems that "slow them down" have instead enthusiastically said "sign me up"!

Over 30 clinical ophthalmologists use the system to perform diagnosis coding and charge capture in the exam room. The charges are sent electronically via an HL7 interface to the institutional billing system. As a result, AR days have dropped dramatically and charge capture percentage is up.

We designed and custom built the web-based system using an Apache server running on a Linux virtual host. The database is Oracle 10g and the development environment is Ruby on Rails.
