Overview ExamWRITER and AcuityLogic are configured to automatically exchange specific information with each other. Patient information that you record in a patient profile in AcuityLogic transfers to ExamWRITER when you create or update a patient. If you use ExamWRITER v10.5.23 without the EWAL patch, exam data recorded in ExamWRITER transfers to AcuityLogic when you close or finalize an exam. Exam data only transfers to AcuityLogic once; if you finalize an exam after closing it, the exam data is not resent to AcuityLogic. If you use ExamWRITER v10.5.23 with the EWAL patch (or above), all prescriptions updated in ExamWRITER automatically update in AcuityLogic; you do not need to close or finalize an exam in order for the prescriptions to transfer. However, prescriptions do not transfer after you have closed or finalized an exam.
