1. Overview
ecPACS stands for “Eye Care Picture Archive and Communication System”. It is the unique “all in one”
software for eye care professionals to manage equipment – and picture data in a complete and open
network application. ecPACS can be combined with any professional EMR / EHR system and Practice
Management – or Hospital Information System (PMS / HIS)
ecPACS is IHE compliant and offers the relevant connectivity:
- HL7 (Health Level Seven)- DICOM- EDIFACT
www.ifa4emr.com for more information
Connectivity guaranteed
2. Interfaces / Features and Functions
Standard Data Management- Patient demographic data- Diagnosis Codes (ICD format)- Text entries
Management of Equipment Data- Objective refraction (25+ autorefractors)- Subjective refraction (10+ computer
phoropters)- IOP (10+ NCT devices)- Keratometer data (10+
autokeratometer)
Management of Test Data and Images- OCT Import- RT Import- Topography import- Biometry import- Visual Field Software (PeriData)- Fundus Cameras- Slit Lamp Video/Images- Eye Draws (patterns for all sub
specialties)- Scanned documents
Output and View Management- Dashboard reviews- Complete screen reviews- Printout- Patient education features
Connectivity Management- HL7 (V2.x) for HIS/PMS- DICOM viewer- DICOM communication
ecPACS combined and integrated with any existing EHR/PMS based on IHE standards such as HL7
V2.xx and DICOM (DICOM conformance statement)
ecPACS can be upgraded to the complete ifa PREMIUM
EMR with structured findings, clinical decision support,
clinical queries etc..
ecPACS license: Workstation license of PREMIUM version
-45% (all other prices for interfaces and services are
according to the PREMIUM price list).
More than 450 interfaces can be
provided
3. Basic Equipment
In every eye care environment equipment test data play an important role. All these instruments
offer digital output features for exporting patient data into other digital systems.
ecPACS offers these interfaces for:
- Autorefractors
- Keratomenters
- NCTs
- Computer Phoropters
- Lensmeters
- Combi-Instruments
The data are stored in structured formats for all kind of data
report and research.
The “vision” is most important
4. Image Systems
ecPACS is an image oriented EMR concept dedicated to and developed for all ophthalmic
requirements. Images can be imported from primary sources (fundus cameras, slit lamp cameras,
other digital cameras) and from secondary image systems from all leading vendors.
ecPACS allows additional comfort procedures:
- Drawing on images
- Comparing images
- Reporting images (with text)
- Communication images
ecPACS is designed for the latest and “state of the art”
monitor technology.
All EMR versions are available
for Apple iPad
5. Specialty software
Innovative diagnostic equipment provides comprehensive images and other BLOBs (binary large
objects) which are important components of the medical
patient chart. Depending on the device ecPACS allows
import of PDF or similar files and / or connect directly to the
patient database (from the workstation or linked to the
server).
Systems from all leading vendors can be connected:
- Heidelberg Engineering
- Oculus
- Optovue
- Topcon
- Zeiss Meditec
- etc.
Images can be displayed with many monitor concepts (Pad
computer, Split screen, Dual monitor)
The perfect art of visual field analysis
6. Perimetry Software
Visual field analysis makes only sense with comprehensive trend calculating concepts. ecPACS is
compatible with the leading international visual field software PeriData, which is fully integrated into
the ecPACS data base.
With PeriData visual fields from many perimetry systems can
be imported and stored in one data base. That is an
important benefit if using different systems / brands in the
clinic or / and when changing the visual field analyzing
devices.
Another benefit of ecPACS is the ability to store visual field
files and e.g. IOP data in one system and display these with
the “Dashboard” features.
The drawings can be integrated into
the „Dashboard“
7. Eye Draw
“A picture is worth a thousand words”
Eye Draw is the comprehensive drawing tool of complex graphical eye care findings for all
subspecialties. More than 20 background designs and more than 50 standardized symbols are
available for these subspecialties:
- Retina
- Glaucoma e.g. Gonioscopy
- Surgery (Cataract / Refractive)
- Oculoplastics
- Pediatric Ophthalmology
The user can define more individual symbols and also
draw on original images.
ecPACS allows also to draw on original patient images (e.g.
fundus images).
8. Scanned Documents
ecPACS is designed to provide the paperless clinic. All relevant documents can be scanned into the
database. With “state of the art” scanner technology the import of existing patient charts, letters and
forms or test prints is easy and very comfortable.
ecPACS allows the definition of various classes for all kind
of scanned objects to provide user friendly access for
patient charts with long history.

9. Dashboard (Review)
The review „design“ is key for the functionality of image based medical record systems. With the
“Dashboard” concept ecPACS offers the most advanced tool for reviewing all kind of digital
ophthalmic data.
Dashboards are developed for all subspecialties representing
the most important and relevant visual objects (IOP- and VA-
Charts, eye draw objects, images, OCT – and other digital test
documents, scanned objects etc.)
The dashboard is ideal also to be displayed on pad computers
such as the iPad product line.
10. Connectivity Guarantee
The investment risk of ophthalmologists can only be eliminated by legal
guarantees.
The full range of benefits of an ophthalmic EMR and PAC systems can only be
fully realized when all data sources are completely integrated. Digital devices
are necessary for clinic and practice workflows. ifa guarantees that all these
devices will be integrated into to the HIS or PMS program, thus the maximum
benefit can be realized. ifa guarantees that its users will have full integration of
all standard ophthalmic devices, assuming the cooperation of all vendors of
ophthalmic devices. ifa supports the international standards as documented by
the IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprises) and provide these standards
integrated into ecPACS.
ecPACS is future oriented:
supporting open standards and ensuring
connectivity
11. Upgrade Potential
The ecPACS is fully compatible with the complete ifa PREMIUM EMR (certified according to the USA
ONC-requirements). The additional documentation functionality with medical history, findings, test
interpretation and therapies etc. can be licensed at any time.
With the upgrade the EMR system becomes fully compliant
with the stimulus requirements (meaningful use of data).
The ecPACS can also be connected with any other certified
EMR / EHR systems based on the HL7 standard data
exchange functionalities.
