With an abundance of practice management software options available, it is important to note the features you require in order to be successful.
Visual-Eyes Software is designed to support multiple business locations and can help to ease your workflow and improve the patient experience. Keep reading to learn more about how practice management software like Visual-Eyes supports your practice so you spend less time worrying about tedious administration tasks and more time with patients.
Centralize Your Data
If you have multiple eye care business locations, often being able to access patient data across all of them is a critical element of effectively serving your patients. By centralizing your patient data, your patients receive the same level of service at each location and your staff can easily access any patient’s data without thought. This means that no matter which location your patient had their last exam at, data is easily accessible, creating a seamless experience for both the patient and your staff.
Visual-Eyes offers the flexibility to choose the database system that meets your unique needs:
- A centralized server: uses a single database linked by a secure connection from all of your locations.
- Replication of data: information updated at one location will automatically update across all locations. This method is less reliant on a stable internet connection.
Having access to patient data can help elevate your level of patient care. This allows your doctors and staff to collaborate on a patient file, even when they are not located in the same clinic. With centralized data, you can provide a seamless experience for every patient, no matter where they last interacted with your clinic.
Centralize Management
Making the same change multiple times for each of your locations can be time consuming. Centralized management gives you the tools to easily manage multiple aspects of your business right from your head office. This can include:
- Price lists
- Schedules
- Accounts receivables, provincial billing, and insurance information
- Inventory
- Stock availability at any location
Central management from the head office can free your clinic staff to focus on patient care, streamline your business operations, and maximize your resources.
Utilize Multiple Location Reporting
Visual-Eyes’ location identifier system allows you to report and track what occurs at each location. By centralizing your data, you can access it the way you want. This allows for multiple location reporting, giving you the ability to:
- Focus in on one location, compare locations, or report on your whole organization
- Obtain easy access to key performance indicators
- Benchmark against a specific location that is performing well
- Identify areas of weakness and opportunity
Multiple location reporting can make it easier to gain valuable business insights, giving you the tools you need to increase each location’s performance.

Using a centralized solution, you can have a call center that focuses on patient inquiries regardless of clinic location, thus freeing clinic staff to focus on patients who are physically in office.
