How will clinicians know when a patient requires referral to an eye specialist?
There are four ways that notification can occur through the EyePACS retinal reading program: 1. Reports are downloaded by the primary care clinic from the EyePACS web site where recommendations for treatment or follow up are indicated for each patient. 2. EyePACS reports can be automatically integrated into a clinic’s electronic medical record or electronic registry. 3. Email notification is sent from EyePACS directly to providers indicating the need for an urgent referral. 4. Phone calls to providers are made when referrals are very urgent.
