The data entry concept is key for the efficiency and the ROI (Return On Investment). With the ifa Data Entry Concept a unique ergonomic user interface has been developed for all kinds of eye care environments.
The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule), states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. For the clinical documentation in eye care that means: with 20% of the terms and codes approx. 80% of the patient record can be managed.- With the ifa SmartScreen technology 20% of the terms and codes are integrated into data entry templates. The buttons represent codes which are mapped to complete text descriptions.
- For example with 20% of the diagnosis codes more than 80% of the patient cases can be documented. The most frequently used 24 diagnoses e.g. are covering approx. 80% of all patient encounters in ophthalmology.
- Corresponding with the subspecialty (retina, surgery, glaucoma etc.) or with a general ophthalmology environment these 24 ICD codes are represented by a template to choose the diagnosis just by a mouse click.
How to create „meaningful“ data with an outstanding comfort:
In addition to the SmartScreen data entry comfort more features support the easy EMR use:- Clinical Pathway Profiles structure the workflow and guide the user
- The Batch Buttons combine complete documentation routines with one “click”
- For repeating unchanged findings from previous visits the “Idem” Button can be used
All features are integrated into the user interface and can be further customized.
The benefits of the ifa Data Entry Concept combined with the Pareto principle:- With a streamlined customization the existing clinical pathways can be transferred to the user interface
- The presetting with “buttons” make the EMR application very easy to learn and to use
- Enormous time is saved by the SmartScreen technology (1 min. per patient can mean 200 hrs. per year/per MD)
- The pre-structured information guarantee “meaningful data” for outcome analysis and data mining
