The AAO portal, developed by Sophrona Solutions, meets a specific meaningful use criterion that more than 10 percent of the practice’s patients must be given patient-specific education resources electronically.

 

Sophrona’s secure, online communication platform allows ophthalmologists to provide patients with clinical information from the Academy explaining ophthalmic procedures and surgeries prior to and after their appointments.
