Compulink Debuts Low-Cost Solution for Ophthalmic and Optometric Electronic Health Records and Practice Management

Eyecare Advantage Essentials and E-Rx Enables Small Practices to Implement EHR
and Take Advantage of Governmental Reimbursements
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Compulink Business Systems, the leader in electronic health records (EHR) and
practice management software for ophthalmologists and optometrists, have
announced the launch of two new products, Eyecare Advantage Essentials and E-Rx.
Compulink`s introduction of these products allows eye care professionals to make
the switch to EHR and incorporate electronic drug prescription with complete
integration, which avoids double-entry that other products require.
Implementation of these products also enables practices to become eligible for
financial incentives under the Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health (HITECH) Act provisions of the ARRA legislation. Under this
legislation, a provider can gain up to $60,000 from incentives alone.

Designed for small and budget constrained practices, Essentials provides all of
the features of Compulink`s industry leading Eyecare Advantage and Ophthalmology
Advantage products, minus the ability to customize. Starting at $3,000,
Essentials is available at a much lower entry price than comparable solutions.
Essentials users who require customization can upgrade to the more advanced
Advantage systems at anytime.

"Since implementing Compulink's EHR, we've seen a 30 percent increase in
revenue," says Dr. Sebastian Mirabel. "Compulink has allowed us to streamline
our exams and I now have more chair time."

E-Rx, offered as an option to Essentials and the Advantage line, enables
providers to submit prescriptions electronically and provides comprehensive
clinical information on every drug approved by the FDA. In addition to reducing
prescribing errors and simplifying the prescribing process, E-Rx also enables
providers to qualify for an additional 2% Medicare annual reimbursement amount.
E-Rx pricing starts at $35/month per provider.

"With Essentials and E-Rx, even very small and individual practices can now
afford to implement an EHR solution and begin reaping the benefits," says Link
Wilson, President and CEO of Compulink. "In fact, we`re so confident that our
solution will help them provide better patient care and increase their bottom
line, that we`re offering an `increased profit` guarantee. When you combine that
with the governmental incentives, there really has never been a better time than
now to move to EHR."
