| Purpose |
An Electronic Patient Record (EPR) comprises a series of software applications which bring together key clinical and administrative data in one place. There are obvious advantages of an Ophthalmic versus a Generic EPR. OpenEyes is a fast, web-based, eye care specific EPR already in use in other specialties. The new developments for the Oculoplastic module are presented. |
| Methods |
An introduction to the OpenEyes EPR and the advantages of Oculoplastic versus Generic EPR are presented. Fast input, structured data, graphical notation, photo-capture and ease of audit are demonstrated. |
| Results |
Currently in Oculoplastics, there is no satisfactory, universally used system to collect patient data, audit data and benchmark our performance against our peers with respect to outcome data. OpenEyes Oculoplastic Module is one option that can offer these advantages and presents a current and valuable opportunity for further optimal development. |
| Conclusion |
Over the next decade or so, most departments will see a move towards an EPR. A specialty specific Oculoplastic Module within the OpenEyes EPR allows us to be ahead of the curve. Working as a community we can improve our patient data access and collection with the potential to audit our outcomes and benchmark our performance nationally. |
