Recall schemes are created from the head office Enterprise software, ensuring a uniform set of reminders, motivations and letter templates. The individual practices apply the recall to patients during their visit and can run the recall on site, using the processes defined at the head office. Alternatively, the Recalls can be run and handled by the head office Enterprise software, on a practice by practice basis, or for the entire group, centralising the entire procedure.
Acuitas Enterprise retail groups are dynamic, allowing the company to allocate human resources and adapt to customer movements with a bare minimum of user administration.

The fully integrated process means that everyone working in any practice, or the head office, can access, add and edit the sections of a patient record appropriate to their function within the company. There is no need to pause a patient journey process to retrieve or handover information from physical records, other staff members, or from third party systems (such as imaging or testing equipment). The appointment scheduling, Examinations, Prescriptions, Dispensing, Sale, Benefit Claim Application and Order Processing can all be completed using the same interface.
Acuitas includes a set of tools that allow back-office product manager to easily configure and control the sales and marketing deals and specials on offer to patients. The Promotion module enables users to configure multiple validated promotions to be run perpetually, or set to run between specific dates, or up to a cut off time. Promotion configurations are wide and varied across individual products, ranges of products, by price, or by using a combination of these. Promotions are not limited to spectacles; they are applied to and across product types including contact lenses, accessories, treatments, and services offered by the practice. Also, promotions are supported by the Commissions Module, allowing managers to align bonuses with promotions to incentivise staff to upsell or meet specified criteria when fulfilling a promotional sale.
This feature will furnish the management of any multi-practice organisation with a complete arsenal of reports and analytics to review and plan their strategies and processes. The module is broken down to Reports, Logix, and KPI’s. The Reports section provides an array of patient, sales, stock, appointments, accounts and so forth. Each report can be set to an individual practice, or all practices in the group, configured by date range, providing detailed or concise breakdowns, and a myriad of individual configuration for the 100+ individual reports available.

Ocuco offers Enterprise customers E-commerce systems that can integrate their extant website with the Acuitas Enterprise platform; stock, catalogue and patient prescriptions can be accessed through the internet service allowing a company’s patients to purchase prescription spectacles and contact lenses online.

Benefitting patients requiring new, replacement or top up orders, and are inconvenienced or otherwise unable to visit a practice in person.
