Demonstrations
AAO sponsors The Electronic Office: Integrating the Healthcare Environment (IHE) Eyecare Showcase. This annual event is a monumental effort by industry and user groups to implement standards into products that can be demonstrated on the Joint Meeting show floor.
The Electronic Office: Integrating the Health Care Environment (IHE) Eye Care Showcase
Booth 5159, Moscone West Exhibit Hall
The adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems is being accelerated by financial incentives in the economic stimulus bill and external demands for more documentation, ready access to information, fewer medical errors and enhanced productivity. Electronic workflow can reduce repetitive tasks done by staff and create efficiencies in information flow between the different computer systems in the office. Integration of EHR systems with practice management systems, digital imaging devices, and other medical instruments can be accomplished through agreed-upon standards for information exchange. These capabilities will be demonstrated at the Academy’s Electronic Office. Check in and order a procedure. Have an image taken (e.g., slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundus camera, OCT). Then go to a workstation and see your image displayed, along with your registration information. Receive a free thumbdrive after you finish. Related presentations will be offered in the Technology Pavilion Theater.
