Practice management software developer Opticabase has released a full clinical version of its Opticabase software.
The new version, which uses an ‘industry standard’ SQL server as its backbone, complements the current reception and dispensing systems and was said to have been developed with the input of practitioners to increase its usability in practice.
Opticabase said it removed the need for paper patient records and increased note-taking speed with preset keys. Clinical information was said to have been made clearer and records can now be viewed as a whole examination or as separate parts for added flexibility.
Other new features include extra patient recall options. The software can now be used to send text messages to patients and to send traditional mail through the post. Appointments can also be confirmed with text messages, functionality which the developer said had received good feedback from practices. The dispensing module has been updated and payment and BACS updates are now included. Dispensing notes can also be printed off for lab orders.
