HILLSBORO, OR and TORRANCE, CA (September 16, 2013) — First Insight Corporation, developers of MaximEyes Certified EHR and Practice Management Software, and Kowa Optimed, Inc., developer and manufacturer of ophthalmic diagnostic products, announced a one click interface between MaximEyes EHR and Kowa's DigiVersal Digital Image Viewing Solution.
“We simply click the View Image History button within a MaximEyes EHR exam record to launch the Kowa DigiVersal software,” says Amy Sabelka, CPOT with Oneota Valley Family Eye Care. “It’s easy to create a new patient or open an existing patient’s images, documents, and videos that are associated with the patient. The MaximEyes-DigiVersal integration simplifies our workflow and reduces human error by making sure we are always viewing the correct images and documents for that patient.”
“This integration strengthens our long-term relationship with First Insight and reflects our commitment to focusing on patient care, not paper care, says, Kai Clarke, President of Kowa Optimed, Inc. “Kowa's DigiVersal software combines each patient’s images into their own files, making it easy to track changes over time. The Kowa DigiVersal software solution connects with multiple pieces of equipment to make it even more convenient for practices." Mr. Clarke points out, "Side-by-side comparison of images from different instruments saves time and increases accuracy. You can also drag and drop images to quickly generate reports and referral letters.”
