Digital Ophthalmology Applications EyeRoute Entry-Level Configuration Ophthalmology hospitals can finally deploy high quality digital imaging systems at affordable prices. Anka System s EyeRoute products provide a modular incremental approach to deploying digital ophthalmology systems. The basic hospital system consists of capture stations, viewing stations, central patient records, and central storage. This entry-level configuration allows hospitals to capture studies on multiple capture stations, store studies on a central network, view the studies from multiple locations, and back the studies up to DVDs for disaster recovery. Modality And Capture EyeRoute Entry-Level Configuration Capture and Capture Diagnostic Display 4
Digital Ophthalmology Applications EyeRoute Redundant and Monitoring To improve the availability of data in the central location, a redundant central patient records and database can be installed, and an extensive web-based operations monitoring system, EyeRoute-Mon can be installed.

Digital Ophthalmology Applications EyeRoute Satellite Hospital Support To handle studies captured in satellite hospitals, Anka Systems provides EyeRoute-Cache, a special viewing station with a cache that can store many months worth of studies locally. The capture station also supports a local copy of the study database. Because both the image storage and the database are local, studies can be acquired even when the network to the central hospital is unavailable. This system also automatically copies these satellite hospital studies to the central storage. The copied satellite hospital studies can then be quickly accessed by central hospital users as well.

HIS Integration for Ophthalmology EyeRoute-HL7 EyeRoute-HL7 provides flexible communication with hospital information systems. HIS Gateway Hospital Information System (HIS) Hospital Information Systems (HIS) are used to create a patient s demographic and scheduling information when they make appointments. EyeRoute-HL7 retrieves the patient s demographic and scheduling information from the HIS system through HL7 (Health Level 7) based messages. HL7 is an industry standard format that is used for electrical data exchange within the hospital environment. This interface is useful for procedure automation that requires the retrieval, distribution and validation of patient records and registration of this information to other client components such as the capture stations, work flow for order processing, viewing applications and storage systems. By deploying EyeRoute-HL7, all the manual procedures related to the patient demographic information can be automated. Additionally, EyeRoute-HL7 provides an update capability to report the examination status and medical notes back to HIS for access, billing and transcription purposes. Functions International standard HIS interface (HL7 version 2.3) Translates ADT (admission, discharge, and transfer) messages Bi-directional message communication Receives patient records via HL7 messages Sends image availability via HL7 messages 13

DICOM Integration for Ophthalmology EyeRoute-DICOM EyeRoute-DICOM enables communications with DICOM compatible systems. DICOM Gateway Other DICOM Imaging Systems and Modalities EyeRoute-DICOM allows EyeRoute to communicate with other systems using the DICOM standard. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) specifies a network protocol utilizing TCP/IP, defines the operation of Service Classes beyond the simple transfer of data, and provides a mechanism for uniquely identifying information objects as they are acted upon across the network. DICOM is also structured as a multi-part document in order to facilitate extension of the standard. Additionally, DICOM defines information objects not only for images but also for patients, studies, reports, and other data groupings. With the enhancements made in DICOM (Version 3.0), the standard is now ready to deliver on its promise of permitting the transfer of medical images in a multi-vendor environment. Functions DICOM 3.0 support Verification service provider service provider Query/retrieve service provider Report query service provider Basic worklist service provider Lossless image compression Automatic and manual process recovery Automatic image backup 15
