How do I use the OD Link entrance forms?
OD Link has entrance forms specific to the reason for the office visit. When the data on the form is entered into OD Link, the information auto links to the Patient Window and the Exam Window. The forms are mapped to the reason for visit (New Patient, Routine, Medicare, Contact Lens Visit, Red Eye, Glasses Check, Floaters, Follow-Up for Cataract, Follow-UP for Lasik, and Lasik Pre-op).
