Today we’re excited to announce a major milestone: Dr. Contact Lens now offers a full two-way integration with RevolutionEHR. Until now, most EHR integrations have been a one-way street: data flows out of your EHR, but nothing ever comes back. That meant your staff still had to close the loop by hand, documenting orders in the patient record after the fact. Not anymore.
What Two-Way Integration Actually Means
A true two-way integration doesn’t just pull data. It completes the circle. Here’s what the new RevolutionEHR integration does for your practice, automatically and in the background:
- Reads your data: Finalized contact lens prescriptions, patient demographics, and exam details flow directly from RevolutionEHR into Dr. Contact Lens, with no exporting, no re-typing, no double data entry.
- Orders automatically: The moment a prescription is finalized, patients can order online, 24/7, from their doctor. No staff intervention required to set up the order.
- Syncs information continuously: Patient contact details, prescription updates, and changes made in RevolutionEHR stay in sync with Dr. Contact Lens, so both systems always reflect the latest information.
- Writes back to the record: When a patient places an order, the order details are written back to their RevolutionEHR record automatically. Your patient chart is always complete, without anyone lifting a finger.
Why Write-Back Is the Game Changer
Ask any practice what the most tedious part of contact lens ordering is, and you’ll hear the same answer: documentation. Every order placed outside the EHR traditionally had to be logged back into the patient record manually. It’s slow, it’s error-prone, and it’s exactly the kind of busywork that keeps staff away from patient care.
With write-back, that entire step disappears. A patient orders at midnight from their couch, and by the time your staff opens RevolutionEHR the next morning, the order is already documented in the chart. Complete records, zero clicks.
What This Means for Your Practice
- Hours of staff time back every week: no more re-keying prescriptions or documenting orders by hand
- Fewer errors: data flows system-to-system, eliminating transcription mistakes
- A complete patient record: every order, every prescription, always up to date in RevolutionEHR
- Higher capture rates: frictionless ordering means more patients buy from you instead of an online retailer
Built by Doctors, for Doctors
Dr. Contact Lens was founded by optometrists who lived the pain of manual ordering every day. This two-way integration reflects that same philosophy: your EHR should work for you, not create more work. RevolutionEHR joins our growing list of deep EHR integrations designed to keep the doctor-patient relationship, and the revenue that comes with it, inside your practice.
