KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS IN FOCUS
FLEX is the very latest software from Optinet, the IT Division of the National Eyecare Group. With over 25 years’ experience developing Practice management software, Optinet understands the needs of independent opticians.
The role based design makes FLEX easy to use for all staff members, comprehensive enough to meet your needs and affordable for even the smallest of practices.
Starting from as little as £145 +VAT per month, you’ll be surprised at the advanced features packed into FLEX, including: patient communication timeline, customisable clinical records, business intelligence and much more.
ADVANCED PRACTICE
Optinet™ FLEX advanced practice management software offers an easy to use system that provides all the features you would expect from a modern PMS (please see our full features list), with the addition of features that make it the ideal choice for the modern practice.
A real asset to any practice is the patient communication feature, which not only allows you to send letters, SMS texts, emails and postcards, but it forms a time line for each patient showing what communication you have sent and when. This allows you to move away from just a recall letter every two years, to individualised marketing and the ability to monitor its effects.
A key contact point for your business is the dispensing of spectacles, FLEX makes the dispensing process hassle free with integrated lens catalogues, frame selection from the stock system, multiple pairs per dispense, automatic posting to the till system and more.
If you have more than one practice you’ll know how difficult it can be to be in control of the entire business. Optinet™ FLEX+ helps you take control of your business and enables you to be proactive, rather than reactive. FLEX+ allows each practice to run separately, but connects them together enabling you to move excess stock from practice to practice, monitor your appointments to maximise staff usage, review group and individual practice performance, change prices or structure across the entire business or simply centralise functions such as recalls and marketing.

THE HOMESCREEN
The FLEX user journey begins at their ‘Homescreen’, a single interface that draws together key information from the system and displays it in ‘Widgets’. There are different widgets to choose from and each user is free to choose which widgets to show on their homescreen (Patient search, My staff tasks, Collections due, Diary arrivals, Timeline).
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE DESIGNED OPTINET™
FLEX TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM,
WE OFFER A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL
PRODUCTS THAT WILL FURTHER ENHANCE
YOUR BUSINESS. THIS INCLUDES;
Clinical – record the findings of clinical examinations in FLEX. Patient data is stored centrally in electronic format, the benefits of doing this include: patient data is immediately available to other staff members once the examination has concluded e.g. dispensing, data can be easily re-used in reports/referral letters and records are stored in an easily readable and readily available way.
Optisave – the importance of backing up your data can not be stressed enough, with Optisave it is all taken care of automatically. A back up is taken of all your FLEX data each day and stored at a secure data centre, so fully protecting your vital business data. In addition to storing the data Optinet™ monitors the back up process ensuring its working and isn’t corrupted in any way.
ROLE BASED
FLEX is a role based practice management system; this approach to the user experience offers great benefits to practice managers and individual users alike. Managers have the ability to create user groups or ‘Roles’ which in turn can be assigned to staff members. The roles allow system customisation and access and permissions to be granted to groups of users within the practice, e.g. the following can all be set for each role:
4 Till Functions: Discounts, credits, refunds, refunds by amount
4 Clinical Functions: Optometrist, Dispenser, Contact lens optician
4 Manager: Additional managers’ home screen
4 Screens: Choose which screens users can access
4 Reports: Choose which reports users can access
4 Other: Show/hide stock cost prices, build custom scheme packages and many more
CLINICAL RECORDS
Electronic clinical examination records are an essential tool that aide in the collection, recording and recalling of clinical data during the time the patient spends in the consulting room.
The FLEX clinical records module has been designed with the examiner in mind:
Sight Test
4 Examination assessments can be personalised to the user. Choose from hundreds of pre-installed procedures. Organise the workflow to suit the user.
