BACKGROUND: The electronic or paper-based patient record is the most important documentation file. The electronic patient record has many advantages compared to a paper-based record. METHODS: An example of an electronic patient record (EPR) system accessed by several departments of the Faculty of Medicine of Magdeburg is presented. RESULTS: To guarantee faculty-wide communication with sharing of clinical pictures and findings, e.g., with the Departments of Radiology and Pathology, the system of MEDOS Inc. is used in our department. Several examination devices, for example fundus camera, slit lamp, and ultrasound, are equipped with an digital picture storage and communication system via a DICOM interface to the MEDOS system. The software AnalySIS is used as a gateway for picture transferation. The MEDOS system also supports the clinical workflow. CONCLUSIONS: The use of an electronic patient record system in ophthalmology is already possible, but still needs further tuning and improvement.
