| Just One Question - Dr. John R. Scibel |

Dr. John R. Scibal, how has MediNotes affected your practice? MediNotes has enabled us to be paperless since 1990. Our office had been heavily computerized prior to that with respect to patient accounts and billing, appointment scheduling, and eyeglass and contact lens tracking, but the final step was instituting electronic health records. At the time, there was very little formal training offered, but we still had a relatively easy time converting from paper to computer records, phased over a period of about 90 days. There are numerous advantages to EHR, but the three that impact us the most on a daily basis are simply having all the charts available with the click of a mouse to all staff members, the ability to instantly generate a referral or consultation letter, and the E&M coding wizard, which uses bullet points from the medical encounter to determine the appropriate coding level. And more that any other program I have seen, MediNotes is by far the most customizable, and easily allows for changes "on the fly", making for fast and accurate clinical records.  John R. Scibal, O.D., is the founder of Carteret Vision Center , Dr. Scibal, was born and raised in Linwood, NJ. He graduated with honors from Duke University in 1978 and went on to Pennsylvania College of Optometry and graduated in 1983. He completed a one-year residency in family practice optometry at the University of Alabama-Birmingham After his residency training, Dr. Scibal began practice in Greenville, NC but gradually started working his way to the coast, first in New Bern and finally settling in Morehead City. Dr. Scibal is quite active in the community and has been involved with the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, The Boys and Girls Club and many local school activities. | ||||||||

Staying up to date with continuing education is important to a doctor; their patients expect them to be abreast of the most current developments in the medical field. Yet, it can be very difficult to find the time to sit down and take the continuing education classes.
Selecting an electronic medical record system is a complicated process. With so many different proprietary software choices available, it can be hard for a doctor to decide which package will work best for them.
