Eye Care Workflow
Eye Care Workflow Integration Profile
The Eye Care Workflow Integration Profile (EYE CARE) describes mechanisms to manage and distribute the workflow within the eye clinic across the several types of equipment in a synchronized manner.
Summary
EYECARE addresses three workflow scenarios: stand-alone eye care clinics, large eye care groups, and hospital-based eye care departments.
In Eye Care, patients present with a variety of symptoms and complaints, which may or may not result in the need for diagnostic imaging and testing. Some types of imaging and testing may be performed routinely, before patients are seen by a physician. Other types of imaging and testing may be performed only after a physician has determined the need for them while examining the patient. Thus orders may be placed either for a specific procedure, or for a “generic eye care procedure.” This requirement of flexibility is paramount.
<Insert a simple graphic that, at a glance, gives an impression of what the profile is about. E.g. a graphic of a hospital, a clinic, and a lab with patient records moving between them. Do not use an actor/transaction diagram here.>
<See Help - Tips and Tricks for details on inserting an image/graphic.>
Benefits
<List the key benefits the profile provides (e.g. error reduction, increased throughput) and how they come about (e.g. SWF reduces patient errors due to mistyped demographics at the modality by transfering demographics electronically from the Order Filler).>
Details
