An ophthalmology practice unlocks higher value from its EMRs and call center

05:54 pm December 20, 2021

Tomoka Eye Associates is a thriving Florida ophthalmology practice with three offices and a surgery center. With a mostly senior patient base of 100,000, Tomoka depends heavily on its call center to connect patients with live operators for triage. However, their Internet infrastructure couldn’t handle large EMR files to meet the 2014 federal mandate.

Tomoka CEO Bill Watson made the decision to partner with Spectrum Enterprise to help accelerate connection speed and improve efficiency.
