Epic + Ophthalmology

Epic AI Front Desk for Ophthalmology

A ophthalmology practice running Epic has two separate problems: the calls that never get answered, and the detail that never makes it into the chart. This covers both.

Why ophthalmology calls need specialty rules

Keep cataract, retina, and urgent eye calls organized with AI that understands triage severity.

Urgent Symptom Routing

Katie asks about flashes, floaters, pain, or trauma and connects patients appropriately.

Surgery Coordination

AI schedules cataract, LASIK, or retinal procedures with detailed prep instructions.

Imaging + Testing

OCT, VF, and other diagnostic appointments are booked faster with AI capturing details.

What lands in Epic

Triage happens on the call. What reaches Epic is a structured record in the place your team already works, not a voicemail someone has to transcribe.

  • Read-only access to appointments via RPA or App Orchard
  • Drop call summaries into In Basket or work queues
  • Optional SmartForm intake for referrals

Setting it up for a ophthalmology practice on Epic

Go-live is typically 7 to 14 days. Most of that time is spent on your rules rather than on the integration itself.

  • Confirm which Epic modules your practice uses
  • Decide where each call type should land in Epic

Security and compliance

PHI handling is covered by a signed BAA before anything goes live.

  • BAA-backed deployment
  • Audit logging synced with Epic security
