Signature Pads support the paperless ASC The integration of the signature pad into the ifa EMR enables eye care professionals to save time and money, heighten security and streamline processes in both the clinic and the ASC. Faster and more efficient than paper-based filing systems, a patient’s electronic signature is easily stored into the medical record along with the corresponding legal documents, such as surgery consent forms. And in situations where filling a paper
consent form is required, the merged document is easily printed, signed by the patient and the surgeon, and scanned directly into the ifa EMR.
Fingerprint Mouse Connectivity With the implementation of the biometric fingerprint mouse, ifa has addressed the challenge of creating a secure, usable, and effective EMR. In less than 1 second, a user can access the ifa system with the touch of a finger. The fingerprint mouse is suitable for environments with rotating users who need easy and secure access to patient records.

State-of-the-Art Data Mining for Ophthalmic Surgeons and Professionals The European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract & Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO), is aiming to make a significant impact on the exchange of surgery and treatment best practices between practitioners. This innovative state-of-the-art registry is co-funded by the European Union and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). ifa is the official IT provider for the registry project, which allows peerto-peer statistical analysis of surgical outcomes.
options, such as time period, demographic data, surgical method and co-morbidity. Output data is easily displayed as frequency tables or graphs. For the purpose of comparison and benchmarking of cataract outcomes, quality indicators can include final visual acuity, biometry prediction error and surgical complications. For refractive surgery outcomes, a set of standards can show the requesting surgeon’s results.
The national ophthalmic societies of 18 participating countries will have a continuing and active role in the implementation of the EUREQUO project at each national level. During the past few months alone, 400,000 patient data sets have been entered both from the pilot countries (Scandinavia, Spain as well as the Netherlands) and from legacy systems (ECOS, RSOIS, Dutch and Swedish registries). A new standard is born. www.eurequo.org
Benchmarking and clinical improvement The EUREQUO system is designed for outcome benchmarking and clinical improvement with the aim to develop evidence-based quality guidelines. The database contains case data input by ophthalmic centers all across Europe. It also integrates surgery data from existing national databases. EUREQUO features impressive data mining and reporting functionality. For example, output results are available in a range of hierarchical levels, by surgeons, by country or by the entire case population within the registry. Qualifiers include a wide selection of

ifa Electronic Ophthalmic Surgery Management for ASCs and surgery centers The following key capabilities of the ifa EMR for Ophthalmic Surgery provide a surgery center with the necessary functionality to: • Share medical record information from and to the eye clinic and ASC, as well as with other health institutes and hospitals. • Collect surgery specific patient, medical and monitoring information throughout the surgical workflow (i.e., pre-op, operative data, scanned documents, op notes, post-op as well as any special consent). • Connect ALL medical devices with digital output: ifa is the only vendor who gives a connectivity guarantee for all existing equipment and for future devices (based on long-term agreements with the leading vendors). Currently more than 450 diagnostic devices and digital systems can be connected with the ifa surgery management (for more information please see page 2). • Maintain a separate but integrated medical record for both administrative and billing purposes. • Enter all relevant patient surgery information. The user is then able to generate meaningful data and can export it utilizing the query function for reports,
clinical trials, disease registries and other outcome databases. • Automatically generate a surgery report by merging pre-defined text reports with the individual patient and procedure data. The basic text is a MS Word document with structured merging features. Within the customization process the existing user reports are evaluated and preset for the electronic workflow.
• Directly export data to quality outcome databases, registries and clinical trial projects. The data structure is SNOMED compatible making it extremely useful for international projects. • Generate the complete plan for the OR. Users can customize the layout for the different procedures or surgeons. The system imports the patient related data from the EMR and integrates the clinical data (VA, refraction etc.) into the OR plan.

The 3rd software generation defines new benchmarks for EMR efficiency, comfort of use and workflow productivity. Based on more than 10 years of experience with template driven user interfaces, ifa’s Germany-based team of software engineers has developed a new generation of ophthalmic EMR with a state-of-the-art navigation concept. This innovative enhancement combines web navigation with easy-to-use local software applications. The new navigation and data entry concept works according to the 80-20 rule
(also known as the Pareto principle). With approx. 20% of the codes and terms approx. 80% of the patient documentation can be managed. With the intelligent SmartScreen technology developed by the ifa software engineers, the most commonly used findings, diagnoses and treatment plan terms can be chosen by clicking the relevant button which automatically stores the term within the relative database.
Every day, ophthalmic data of more than 180,000 patients are managed within ifa software systems all over the world. The close communication between the ifa support teams and the users in many countries is a guarantee for the user-friendly and stateof-the-art solution for all ophthalmic environments.

ifa systems AG acquires Oklahoman Tele-Medicine Innovator, INOVEON Corp. In September 2010, ifa systems AG has acquired INOVEON Corporation. INOVEON and ifa systems will collaborate on the joint mission to manage diabetic eye care worldwide. ifa systems AG, Germany, is continuing its rampant growth (used in 17 countries and holding more than 70 million patient data) by acquiring Oklahoma-based INOVEON
Corp., which specializes in telemedicine related to diabetic eye care and treatment. This acquisition will be used to broaden the product line and distribution structure of the group, and expand their international market share. ifa systems AG is most noted for its pioneering work in sophisticated Electronic Health Record (EHR)
systems for ophthalmology, which has been adopted extensively in Europe and surrounding countries. INOVEON Corp. has focused mainly on managing diabetic eye diseases and clinical research and development. Both of the companies have previously worked together supporting open clinical and technological standards and complement each other when used in the eye clinics and ophthalmic supply networks. ifa systems AG will make Oklahoma a hub for international telemedicine activities, including service development and consulting. The customers and partners of INOVEON stand to benefit from ifa systems AG market presence and their additional financial investment in the INOVEON platform. Also, INOVEON will continue to use its strategy, but will expand its services to include those of the successful ifa systems. ifa systems AG is listed in the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (symbol IS8). The company was founded over 20 years ago and is a leading provider of software applications in international ophthalmology.
