Seventeen people have died of the highly contagious virus in San Diego, the southernmost county in the state of California. Among the 461 cases that have been confirmed, the number of hospitalizations stands at 315, the update showed.

In choosing an EMR system for an ophthalmology practice, a major factor to consider is the system s ability to handle high resolution images.
At our practice we have a multi sub specialty which includes glaucoma and retina, which require that electronic images are viewable from devices such as both digital fluorescein cameras and ocular coherence tomography, GDx and HRT.
Many EMR systems have viewing modules built in. Some practices may want to consider a solution which has more robust capability, such as the ability to view multiple images at the same time, meanwhile scrolling through other reports, along with the ability to view images over a WAN between office locations.
I recently spoke with Steve Thomas, CRA of Florida Opthalmic Consultants, an independent imaging consultant for ophthalmologists. I asked him about the key factors that a practice needs to consider when selecting an imaging system. His responses:
1. Durability. This is based on the reputation of the manufacturer and the average amount of use. Can you get it fixed fast if it breaks? Who provides the technical support?
2. Expandability. After the system has been in use for a number of years, will you need additional computer resources to manage the increasing patient image information? How do you backup this information to protect loss?
3. Affordability. This is based on your patient volume how many fluorescein angiograms (FA) and fundus photos (FP) are typically performed? Based on the revenue from this volume what does the system cost to run and maintain?
4. Licensing. Is the system licensed per practice, per doctor, or per user? If it is per user, does the system limit how many users can be logged on at any one time? Can you network the system into all your exam rooms without having to purchase additional licenses?
5. Interoperability. Is it a self contained system? Will it dovetail easily with your existing EMR system? Or is the digital part from a third party manufacturer, complicating service issues when the system goes down?
6. Usability. Do you need . Diego Alves Brazil Jersey Gustav Engvall Sweden Jersey Koke Spain Jersey Luis Montes Mexico Jersey Marco Reus Germany Jersey Cheap Chelsea Jerseys Cheap Atletico Madrid Jerseys Cheap Arsenal Jerseys Cheap Sevilla FC Jerseys Cheap Manchester United FC Jerseys
