OpenEMR: Eye Exam

These Wiki documents will provide an in depth look into the OpenEMR: Eye Exam form, from installation to usage.

General overview

The Eye Exam is an OpenEMR form for ophthalmology and optometry providers to document their encounters with patients, from the Chief Complaint to the Impression and Plan, and ends with an optional printable report.

What makes this different?

• The Eye Exam form remembers your preferences as you use it.
• Users can document their findings in a variety of ways, allowing for maximum flexibility and usability.
• The form is intelligent - the more you use it the more personalized it becomes.
• It will adapt to each provider's commonly used terms such as medication lists and surgical nomenclature, showing these high frequency items for rapid entry on future patients.
• There is no save button. As you work through the form, it is automatically saved in the background.
• Undo features are present to backtrack, not only in text fields but also in the drawings.

Install

At the time of this article, the Eye Exam form has not been through a code review and is not part of the base installation. The OpenEMR maintainers wish to make certain features available to any developer to add to their own forms. They have extracted certain libraries from the form and moved them to the OpenEMR library, with the intention of adding them to the base install library upon code review. Until then, the Eye Exam form can be installed like any other OpenEMR form, but you will have to add these new libraries into your library area.
