Our initial generation of server-based practice management and electronic health record software has a rich history. The journey began in the 1980s, a decade marked by Michael Jordan's rise in professional basketball, Bruce Springsteen's dominance on the airwaves, the iconic "Back to the Future" hitting theaters, and the launch of OfficeMate®. Introduced in 1985, OfficeMate revolutionized the eye care sector by providing an effective means to manage practice operations. The introduction of VSP® Integration in 2008 marked a significant milestone, as it allowed many practices to step into a nearly paperless environment for the first time. With the advent of ExamWRITER®, exam documentation saw remarkable enhancements, setting a new benchmark for electronic health record technology within the eye care field. This technology aims to streamline tasks like verifying patient eligibility more swiftly, minimizing human errors, and facilitating automatic updates, thereby simplifying life for practitioners. As the landscape of security, regulations, and technology continues to shift, we have consistently ensured that both OfficeMate and ExamWRITER remain compliant while broadening our offerings in practice technology to meet evolving needs. Ultimately, our commitment to innovation reflects our dedication to enhancing the efficiency of eye care practices.
