Eye Center CRM
When LASIK measurements stay in the device printout and the lens brand and renewal date in the sales ledger, which of the patient's data sits where has to be searched for again at every examination.
Sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye are written to the same patient card at every visit; the dioptre's direction over the years is read from those rows. Lens renewal dates sit on the same card.
- Record sphere, cylinder and axis for the right and left eye at every examination and track the change over the years on a chart
- List LASIK candidates with their pre-assessment result based on corneal thickness, pupil width and the dry eye test
- Run LASIK, PRK, LASEK, cataract and implantation processes in the same flow, from pre-preparation through to post-operative care
- Track the lens brand, diameter, base curve and renewal date on the patient card, and drop those whose renewal date is approaching into the call list
- Plan the post-operative day 1, week 1, month 1, month 3 and year 1 check-ups as tasks tied to the surgery date
| Refraction History | The dioptre, cylinder and axis values for the right and left eye are dated rows written to the patient record at every examination; because the rows sit on the same card, the rate of change is read from a chart. |
|---|---|
| LASIK Pre-Assessment | Corneal thickness, pupil width and the dry eye test are fields on the patient record; the eligibility result is written from those fields according to the rule defined during setup, and eligible candidates come out of that field's list. |
| Surgery Process | LASIK, PRK, LASEK, cataract and implantation are each a surgery record; pre-preparation, the day before, the day of surgery and the steps that follow are tasks tied to that record's date, and a step that is not completed stays open on the list. |
| Contact Lens and Spectacle Prescription | The lens brand, diameter, base curve and renewal date are fields on the patient record; patients whose renewal date is approaching are filtered by that field and drop into the call list. A spectacle order is a separate row linked to the same card; which optician the patient was referred to sits in its field. |
| Post-Operative Check-Up Schedule | The day 1, week 1, month 1, month 3 and year 1 check-ups are tasks tied to the surgery date; the steps are defined during setup according to your own protocol, and at every check-up visual acuity is written to the same patient record. |
In ophthalmology the decision comes not from a single examination but from the direction of the measurements: an eye that has shifted half a dioptre in a year and an eye that has been stable for three years do not get the same prescription. When the values are written on a separate sheet of paper each time, that direction survives only in the physician's memory, and the difference between a conditional LASIK candidate and a clear one is missed.
Rapitek CRM lines the measurements up on the patient's own timeline, so the rate of change stays on screen during the examination. Once the decision to operate is taken, preparation, the day of surgery and the steps that follow run through the same flow; because the check-ups are set up as tasks tied to the surgery date, recovery follow-up is not left to the patient's own initiative.
