Abstract

The Computer-assisted Ophthalmic Recordkeeping (COR) System is described. Advantages and disadvantages of data entry during the patient encounter and computerized formatting of the examination report are discussed. The COR System allows direct computer entry of patient data by the provider. During a patient encounter, text data are stored in a central computer and are accessible from any workstation. Upon completion, the report is printed. While source data entry is expensive, it reduces transcription costs, increases access to patient records, improves legibility of the patient record, and reduces transcription turnaround time. Electronic preparation of the ophthalmic record allows immediate access to the text component, faster reporting to the referring physician, and enhanced capability of measuring outcomes.
