AAO Patient Education Tools Now Embedded Into Medflow EHR

Charlotte, N.C., September 13, 2011- Medflow, Inc., the leading provider of Electronic Health Records for Ophthalmology, is proud to announce that their EHR software now supports direct access to the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s patient education products.

The education products are created by the AAO as tools for doctors to use when educating their patients before, during, or after a visit. Medflow EHR Software provides access to the educational information from inside the system so doctors and technicians can instantly obtain the material during a patient visit. The materials can be purchased online at the Academy store using the following link: https://secure.aao.org/EbusPPROD/AcademyStore/ProductDetail/tabid/55/Default.aspx?ProductId=24477

“Integrating the Academy’s education products into our system allows doctors to create a better patient experience,” commented Medflow CEO Jim Riggi. “It also allows for a more streamlined and efficient visit as all the needed materials are embedded in the system” Riggi added.

Practices can also send the Academy’s videos and handouts to patients via email using the Medflow Patient Portal. The company believes that this new functionality will help in achieving Meaningful Use as well as decrease the risk of litigation through automatic documentation of the use of patient education materials.
