Ophthalmology Home Templates

Ophthalmology has three Home templates to choose as a starting point for documenting an encounter.

For General and Retina Ophthalmology, there are two choices:
  • Home Page – OPH template (oph_home_page) which uses the newer framework-based tabbed encounter workflow (This is the preferred workflow.)
  • Home – OPH template (eyemaster_im) which uses the original 10–tab encounter workflow

If the Retina provider has not been designated as such in the Eye Configuration practice template, or if a generalist wants to use the Retina workflow for a particular patient, then the Use retina workflow for this encounter check box should be selected when using 10-tab workflow.

Ophthalmology Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) continues to use the ASC Home – OPH template and the original ASC 10-tab workflow.

Ophthalmology Home templates can be configured in Preferences as a default template or as part of a list of Preferred templates.
