EHR Systems

The Academy's IRIS^® Registry uses the FIGMD platform to integrate with and extract data from electronic health record systems. Once your EHR system has been integrated with the registry, we can seamlessly extract your practice's data with minimal ongoing effort on your part.

FIGMD has completed integration projects for more than 50 major EHR systems and is capable of working quickly with new systems. This list compares the basic features for more than 100 EHR systems used by ophthalmology practices, including integration with the registry, compliance with federal EHR standards and the cost to integrate, if applicable.

IRIS Registry EHR Collaborator Program

The IRIS Registry EHR Collaborator Program is intended to foster closer collaboration with EHR systems that have more than 200 registered practices in the IRIS Registry. Compulink, EyeMD EMR, NextGen, and MDIntellesys currently participate in the program.

• Vendor fee: Cost the EHR vendor charges customers to integrate with the registry
• Type: How the EHR system hosts your practice data
• Data access: How the EHR system lets you -- and, in turn, the IRIS Registry -- access your data.

Data relevant to the registry will be extracted automatically from the office EHR system and transmitted on a scheduled basis directly to the IRIS^® Registry. Participating ophthalmologists then can access the data and run queries on their own patient populations, to benchmark practice performance and uncover potential areas for quality improvement.
