The Data Entry Concept
How to create “meaningful“
data with an outstanding
comfort
The Data Entry Concept
The Key for Success
• The data entry concept is key for the
efficiency and the ROI (Return On
Investment). With the ifa Data Entry
Concept (DEC) a unique ergonomic user
interface has been developed for all
kinds of eye care environments.
The Data Entry Concept
The Pareto principle
• The Pareto principle (also known as the
80-20 rule), states that, for many events,
roughly 80% of the effects come from
20% of the causes. For the clinical
documentation in eye care that means:
with 20% of the terms and codes
approx. 80% of the patient record can be
managed.
The Data Entry Concept
The unique Pareto Solution
• With the ifa SmartScreen technology 20% of the terms and
codes are integrated into data entry templates. The buttons
represent codes which are mapped to complete text
descriptions.
• For example with 20% of the diagnosis codes more than 80%
of the patient cases can be documented. The frequently used
24 diagnosis e.g. are covering approx. 80% of all patient
encounters in ophthalmology.
• Corresponding with the subspecialty (retina, surgery,
glaucoma etc.) or with a general ophthalmology environment
these 24 ICD codes are represented by a template to choose
the diagnosis just by a mouse click.
The Data Entry Concept
How to create „meaningful“ data with an
outstanding comfort:
80% Data Entry with just a
mouse click
15% Data Entry with choosing
from a comprehensive code list
5% Data Entry with text
(individual by keyboard)

More Comfort Features
• In addition to the SmartScreen data entry comfort
more features support the easy EMR use:
– Clinical Pathway Profiles structure the workflow and guide
the user
– The Batch Buttons combine complete documentation
routines with one “click”
– For repeating unchanged findings from previous visits the
“Idem” Button can be used
• All features are integrated into the user interface
and can be further customized.

Conclusion
• The benefits of the ifa Data Entry Concept (DEC) combined
with the Pareto Principles:
– With a streamlined customization the existing clinical pathways can
be transferred to the user interface.
– The presetting with “buttons” make the EMR application very easy to
learn and to use.
– Enormous time is saved by the SmartScreen technology (1 min. per
patient can mean 200 hrs. per year/per MD)
– The pre-structured information guarantee “meaningful data” for
outcome analysis and data mining
