Can I bring forward exam data from previous encounters to the next or must all history and exam be re entered with each visit??
Here is a synopsis of the various data that can be pulled forward in the current version: MEDICAL/OCULAR HISTORY: You can bring the patient medical/ocular history forward quite easily. On the Subjective History Tool, on the first tab (Preliminary Findings) you will see a row of boxes near the middle with different history options (e.g. Medical, Ocular, Social, etc). Normally you would use the green arrow to make All Normal, then maybe the Details button to make any exceptions to normal. But if you have a prior history, you would click the Find button (looks like a magnifying glass) right below the green arrow or use the Prior History button at the bottom. To make it even quicker, when you select from the Quick Fill Template list at the top of this same screen, it automatically populates with your most recent history (as well as prior exam date). SPECTACLE RX’s: You can find a prior Rx and pull it into current lensometry data on the Automated Instrument Tool. Use the Find Prior Rx butto
