EMR Update
The MediNotes Corporation has updated its electronic medical record system, Charting Plus, to version 4.2.

Charting Plus 4.2 features 2002 International Classification of Disease-9 and Current Procedural Terminology codes.

It also features the Image Annotator tool, which supports .jpeg files and lets you pull an image into the current document so you can store it with the text.

Another upgraded feature involves formatting text. Charting Plus 4.2 users can now insert tables so that exam objects are laid out in rows and columns. MediNotes says this feature is popular with eyecare professionals because it lets them categorize each eye in left and right columns.

The Delta Finishing System features "4-D" tracing software.

Compact Edger
Gerber Coburn has unveiled Delta, a compact edging system. The company believes that Delta is an ideal investment if you're integrating finishing equipment into your practice for the first time.

Delta features "4-D" tracing software, which, according to the company, "provides the most efficient frame tracing and lens mapping we offer. The Delta Tracer not only measures the x, y and z axes, but it also provides the frame groove angle. This new technique greatly reduces process time required for acquiring the profile of the frame wire groove and makes the lens-to-frame fit much more precise and efficient, reducing any rework."
