UKS.AUGEN.NETZ is an online access for established ophthalmologists to whom we provide a selection of our functions (e.g. bidirectional digital mailing, active access to our appointment calendar, exchange of diagnostics). This system is independent from an electronic patient record. Every colleague in private practice has the opportunity to participate in the UKS.AUGEN.NETZ. However, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) the consent of the jointly treated patient is required in order to participate.
The introduction represents a further milestone in the optimization of work processes and in the realization of a paperless clinic. This means that almost all correspondence, the exchange of digital examination data and scheduling can take place online with selected doctors in private practice. This avoids or reduces mail delivery times and telephone waiting times.
In addition, examinations such as an optical coherence tomography of the macula, can be exchanged between the attending physicians for assessment and follow-up monitoring. Thus, a clear added value in the joint care of our patients is created.
