Crystal PM coming to our office...Can I pick your brains???

[Uncle Fester]

We are committing to Crystal PM as our new practice management system.

I'll be exclusively lab/dispensary in my use and am being asked to highlight or eliminate from 10 pages of options regarding contacts and eyeglass lenses what will be auto filled and told this cannot be changed once we go live in a few weeks.

My first thought is to keep this as simple as possible and just use generic terms like "Daily Disposable Contacts" or " Basic Progressive", "Progressive" or "Advanced Progressive".

My office manager thinks I should be more specific which means possibly hundreds of choices. This is also so when the bill is created the specific products/designs are listed.

Should we barcode frames?

What did you guys do?

Any suggestions to avoid start-up pitfalls?

Any back-office billing suggestions you wish you had done from the get go?

Thanks for your anticipated input!!!
