Developed exclusively for the ophthalmology practices, KeyMedical’s Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solution KeyChart® automates tasks such as developing referral letters, writing prescriptions and creating chart pulls. Analyzing the exam documentation created by physicians, the software automatically recommends appropriate eye code and E&M code and keeps practices from under coding medical examinations.
KeyChart® allows providers to have electronic access to a patient’s medical records through a virtual private network (VPN). The Electronic Medical Records can be integrated with KeyMed™, the company’s Practice Management solution and KeyOptical™, an inventory and eyeglass dispensing software. If a physician wishes to buy all these solutions they can opt for the KeyMedical KeySuite™.

Pros: Instead of requiring clinic staff to adjust to standard EMR formats, it integrates clinical documentation, eye-specific charting, imaging data, and optical orders in a way that feels natural for eye care processes. The ease of storing and viewing test results, visual fields, OCT, and imaging reports as it is facilitates quicker decision-making.
Cons: While KeyChart is well matched to eye care, the interface feels a bit dated compared to newer cloud-based systems, and some screens take extra clicks to navigate.
Verdict: KeyChart Ophthalmology EMR System concentrates on the duties that eye care providers perform on a daily basis, which results in more efficient patient visits and improved documentation.

Pros: The software has a good range of features for patient tracking and managing prescriptions. It works smoothly on most days and has a user-friendly design that is good for staff who are not very tech-savvy. It reduces a lot of paperwork which I really appreciate.
