Challenges
- High-Volume Practice: Dr. Boothe was recognized as one of the world's busiest IntraLASIK surgeons, performing thousands of procedures annually. The patient education and consent process needed to scale without compromising quality or patient understanding.
- Medical Accuracy: The 3D LASIK procedure animations needed to be medically accurate while remaining accessible and non-frightening for patients about to undergo eye surgery.
- EHR Integration: The app needed to integrate directly with the practice's Electronic Health Record system to automatically update consent records—a complex technical and compliance challenge for a pioneering practice.
Solution
Tebeau Group built a mobile app that combined 3D medical animations with EHR-integrated electronic consent, transforming the patient education and consent process.
- 3D Procedure Animations: Collaborated with science-background 3D renderers to create medically accurate LASIK procedure animations that educated patients in an accessible, visual format.
- EHR System Integration: Built direct integration with the practice's Electronic Health Record system for automatic electronic consent updates when patients completed the viewing and signing process.
- Mobile App Platform: Developed a native mobile application that could be used on tablets in the practice, providing a smooth, professional patient experience.
- Electronic Consent Workflow: Designed a complete digital consent workflow that replaced paper forms, improving accuracy, compliance, and patient throughput.
