Imaging data is disconnected from clinical records
Images stored on separate devices or PACS systems require switching screens mid-consultation, breaking workflow and slowing diagnosis.
Disconnected image storage
OCT and fundus images stored on standalone machines that don't link to the patient EHR.
No side-by-side comparison
Comparing this visit's OCT with last year's requires manually pulling up two separate systems.
Lost diagnostic reports
Imaging reports from external labs emailed or printed separately from the clinical session notes.
