Medical exam data is spread across several devices, and there is no easy way to access all exams
within an unique application.
Clinicians have to handle printed exam results or to waste time going to
the equipment. Resources are also wasted with physical archive and related logistics.
OphthalSuite is an integration platform for Ophthalmology that connects all devices to a centralized database,
regardless of the manufacturer.
It connects to the existing medical records management system of the hospital and
it is compatible with several devices and exam types, such as Retinography, Angiography, among others.
Clinicians can access exam results in real time, navigate easily through the patient
exams, view all images with full quality, access all acquired numerical values and view graphical evolution of numeric values.
They can also compare exams taken in different periods, side by side or in mosaic, and thus assess patient evolution.
OphthalSuite organizes the performed exams chronologically for each patient on the several Ophthalmology appointments. It allows reviewing all the diagnostic exams in real time, in the appointment room, regardless the equipment where it was performed.
Several exams can be reviewed simultaneously in mosaic or side by side views.
It includes a Business Intelligence Module that facilitates accessing and handling numerical data that is acquired from each piece of equipment, facilitating customized queries and clinical research.
The imageCore Module allows clinicians to quickly access all clinical exams information, navigate in the patient exams, view images, videos, numerical results.
Features:
The OphthalSuite Business Intelligence Module allows the users to query the database to retrieve useful information for both research purposes and performance metrics. These filtered data can be exported to other software tools to be statistically analysed.
The usage of templates only requires the selection of parameters for each template, thereby creating queries, such as:
OphthalSuite allows to save exams on a central database, throught a specific OphthalSuite Interface, which is installed on each device terminal.
The technicians save all exams they acquire, making them immediately available for reviewing by clinicians.
Features:
The Exams Requester Module enables clinicians to request exams for their patients, making this list available for technicians who will perform the exams. It allows clinicians to define standard lists of exams and specify details to be consider during the acquisition of each exam.
The clinician interface provides the following functionalities:
The technician interface provides the following functionalities:
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest integrated care providers in England, serving a population of around 600,000 people. Their ophthalmology department provides a wide range of in-patient and outpatient treatment for eye conditions, emergency treatment and elective surgery across three sites.
Images are not the only relevant output for Ophthalmic exams, but most devices don't make it an easy task to retrieve the relevant numeric data. We have developed a large array of tools that allow us to retrieve and extract to spreadsheets:
Some devices (e.g. OCTs) do not have streamlined and automated ways of exporting data acquired (B-Scans) as full quality images to organized folders.
Our software tools allow to automate the organized export of full quality images and metadata, which is especially relevant for image processing research.
Patient demographics on each capture devices do not always perfectly match to patient demographics on the Hospital main Database.
This can be due to human error while inserting data, but also caused by the natural patient information lifecycle, where the Hospital might change rules for patient IDs, patients will marry and change their surname, etc.
We have the ability to extract all demographics from several devices, match them against extracts of the main Hospital database, and highlight data quality issues that may be clinical risks.
Ophthalmology staff are able to concentrate on patient care, rather than worrying about missing information.
For over 10 years we wanted to integrate all data from the 12 networked diagnosis devices we have in our clinic (5 different manufacturers). BlueWorks managed to meet our goals, thanks to their knowledge and comprehensive delivery, and today all the imaging information is integrated with the EMR software we acquired back in 1998.
The solution is one of the best investments the ophthalmology department has ever made.
BlueWorks - Ophthalmic Imaging Management Solutions is a technological company founded in 2007, that has been developing innovative systems to support Ophthalmology.
Medisoft is a company founded in 1997 that has created an award winning EMR that supports every aspect of ophthalmic assessment and treatment. It is used in over 150 Hospitals around the world by over 5000 Health Professionals.
OphthalSuite is compatible with Medisoft Ophthalmology and Medisight.
