Medisofts software is the best selling Ophthalmology Clinical System in the UK. It runs over hospital networks and interfaces with hospital PAS systems and some items of ophthalmic equipment.

The program collects data at every stage of the cataract patients care pathway: initial consultation, pre-operative assessment, biometry, anaesthesia, pre-op checks, operation, post-op checks, telephone calls, follow up clinic visits and visits to the community optometrist. At hospitals where the program is in use, the software has been of great benefit in helping to organise the multidisciplinary Integrated Care Pathway.

At each stage a hard copy for the notes and letters can be automatically generated. Thus the paper notes are kept up-to-date, but without duplication of data entry, and a large amount of secretarial time is saved.

The program includes intraocular lens power calculations that recommend the appropriate formula for each eye in accordance with the Royal College of Ophthalmologists guidelines, and automatic customisation of a constants for both the Zeiss® IOL Master and ultrasound machines.

Continuous, prospective audit of all aspects of cataract surgery is immediately available at the click of a mouse using a sophisticated report and graph wizard.

Outcomes analysis includes visual acuity, surgically-induced refractive change and deviation from predicted post-operative refraction.
