Scott A. Jens, OD, FAAO, founder of RevolutionEHR and a practitioner at Isthmus Eye Care in Madison, Wis., advises ODs to reach for the next level of meaningful use with electronic health records. This includes collecting e-mails of patients, recording and monitoring vital signs, and noting medications and medical conditions. Dr. Jens also recommends that EHR be viewed as more than a reimbursement tool; it is a powerful tool in chronic disease management over time.
