The Patient Manager utilizes browser technology
The “Patient Manager” utilizes the newest Windows browser technology. The new “Patient Manager” provides access to every part of the electronic medical record from the Navigator menu screen. Whether you would like to review notes, prescriptions, letters, visual fields, images or drawings, you can navigate the entire record from this screen. The “Patient Manager” uses ifa’s “SmartScreen”, a trademarked user interfaces technology. All data is entered to the record through the “Patient Manager” using “SmartScreen” input windows. This concept allows for rapid concise data entry using your own customized menu routines.The screen below is the opening menu screen. The center window displays a summary of all stored events for the patient. This viewer uses HTML technology. Any area underlined is automatically linked to another document or display.

SmartScreen – the user interface
ifa's unique SmartScreen user interface ensures fast and simple data entry. Data entry is done intuitively by selecting a “button” on the SmartScreen menu corresponding to a data field in the form. Buttons are logically linked to the defined fields in the form to prevent errors and to provide random entry of data. All data such as history, findings, refractions, visual acuity, physician impressions, treatment plans, and more are quickly entered, captured and displayed using user-defined SmartScreens and forms.

Unlimited user defined forms can be created, each with their own specific SmartScreen menus. There is no limit to the number of SmartScreens per form. However, the goal is to make them as brief and concise as possible in order to further minimize data input navigation.
Exam forms can be preset with normative data by using “macro” keys. To change an entry, click the data field and the corresponding SmartScreen buttons will appear with your choices.

You can also copy forward information from a previous visit. The program allows you to copy all data or select individual sections from the previous exam.
Free text can be entered in every data field area.
