It is imperative that you buy the software that meets your current needs and serves your future purposes as well.

1. Some Common Mistakes we All
Make While Purchasing
Optometry EMR

2. Having helped hundreds of
optometrists in their purchase of
HER software, I have come across
many buyers who tend to make some
very common mistakes. It is
imperative that you buy the software
that meets your current needs and
serves your future purposes as well.
No one is interested to change the
software few years down the line
simply because the software has
failed to meet its desired result.

3.  Following are the 5 tips how you can avoid these common
mistakes:-
 Get multiple quotes in writing: ask the vendor to give you a written
breakdown of the rate quoted. Ask him to mention if there are any add
ons, any monthly or annual subscriptions. Once you have the list with
you, contact the other vendors to see what the rates are charged by them.
Now compare the different rates to see what the prevailing market rate is.
Find out about the return policy as well. In case the software does not
work, you got to replace it right?
 Ask for a live demo: once you have a list of the software’s that you
would like to try out, fix a live demo of all the software’s. Do keep a
minimum gap between the different demons. This will help you to better
analyze the software and play a significant role in your decision making.

4. Try out the software before you go ahead with the
purchase: before you go ahead and make the
purchase, give the software try. Find out how it
operates, what are the different features, how it is
making your work easy – in short try to find out all
those things that you need to know in order to run
the software.
 Take time to learn the software: it is very
important that you purchase the software 6 to 8
weeks before you plan to go live with the software.
Give uninterrupted time towards learning the
software so that when you go live you are confident
enough to run the software and you know how the
whole thing works.

5.  Ask question: it is always a good thing to ask
questions. His way your concepts will clear and
you will be more confident to run the software.

6. Following are a few sample questions that you can begin
with:-
How many employees are going to use this software?
What makes this particular product better compared to the
other optometry emr software’s in the market?
Which optometry trade shows do you intend to attend this
year?
Does the software fulfill all your requirements?
Once you consider these 5 common mistakes that we tend to
make, you will be in a better position to purchase the right
software.
