OcucoRelcon, the optical software specialist has delivered a new look for its Acuitas practice management software (PMS). The acclaimed practice software for opticians has a new look and feel that gives users choices about how they want to get the most out of the system. OcucoRelcon provides patient relationship management software solutions – Acuitas and Focus – to more than 1,000 independent opticions practices, medium sized groups and large chains, OcucoRelcon is a market leader in the UK and Irish optical market and has the largest optical software development, delivery and support infrastructure in Europe. With the product upgrade delivered in six months from initial specification to delivery – OcucoRelcon is demonstrating commitment to continually improve its offering to existing customers, who receive free upgrades to the software that they have bought, on a regular basis,” says Leo MacCanna, Ocuco Group Chief Executive. As part of its philosophy of engagement and partnership with existing customers, OcucoRelcon unveiled the newly re-mastered user interface to both new and current customers. “We are very excited by the outcome of this project, which we feel has really impressed both new and existing customers,” continues Al Chetwode, CEO of OcucoRelcon Ltd. In a first for the practice management software industry OcucoRelcon announced today that it is releasing a new “pay per click” pricing option for image capture software, to link with most fundus and anterior segment cameras available in the UK market. Customers will be able to pay for the use of OcucoRelcon’s imaging software as they charge the customer, instead of having to fund the software up-front. This facility is now available for both of the company’s highly regarded practice management software packages, Acuitas and Focus. The imaging software is integrated with the EPOS retail aspect of the practice so that there is a seamless link between that way that the system is paid for and charges made to the patient for fundus imaging services provided by the optician. Not only that, the images are stored against the patient record, so there is full integration at all levels. “This is a really radical departure from the price offerings that are available from other software vendors in this sector,” says Al Chetwode, CEO of OcucoRelcon, continuing “not only do we offer an imaging solution that talks to all of the major equipment in the market, which is available through both of our PMS offerings, Acuitas and Focus, we now have a ‘win-win’ way for customers to pay for the value of these solutions as they generate sales to their patients for fundus images.”
