Integration with the Datico® LIFE HUB
OCULUS
With the integration of Oculus, Datico® expands its platform with another central building block of clinical diagnostics. Visual field testing, which plays an important role in neurological and ophthalmological contexts, is not merely connected but transformed into an end-to-end digital workflow.
The focus is not on the individual measurement, but on the question of how a consistent, reusable overall report can be created from fragmented individual findings – embedded in existing clinical processes.
When diagnostics meet fragmented systems
In practice, visual field tests rarely deliver a single result. Instead, several individual reports are generated within one examination context, each representing different aspects of visual function.
These reports are typically available in separate documents, are generated in different systems, and subsequently have to be merged manually. It is precisely at this point that media disruptions, additional effort, and inconsistencies in documentation arise.
The actual diagnostic quality often falls short of what is possible, because the relationship between the data is not systematically leveraged.
Integration via Twinfield and GDT – embedded in the clinical workflow
The technical integration follows an established clinical process. Patient data and case information are transferred via the GDT protocol to the Twinfield software, which serves as the central environment for Oculus diagnostics.
The visual field test is performed there. The resulting outcomes are not generated as a single finding, but provided as several reports within the system.
These reports are then imported by Datico® and integrated into the Datico® LIFE HUB. The decisive point here is that the data is not merely stored, but processed further in a structured manner.
From individual report to a consistent overall report
The actual added value of the integration arises in the consolidation of the data. The individual PDF reports of the visual field test are automatically consolidated into a single overall document and supplemented with additional content.
A structured summary is generated via Datico® Smart Forms, in which findings can be assessed, commented on, and placed in a clinical context. In this way, a unified, traceable overall report is created from several isolated reports.
This overall report is then returned to the HIS and clearly assigned to a case there. Diagnostics thus become a seamless part of the existing documentation.
Diagnostics become part of an integrated data logic
With the integration of Oculus, the role of visual field diagnostics within the system changes. It is no longer a separate process with downstream documentation, but part of an end-to-end data logic.
Findings are created in a structured manner, consolidated, and made immediately available in the right context for further use. Particularly in neurological and rehabilitative settings, where progression and comparison are decisive, this integration provides a significantly better basis for assessment and treatment planning.
Conclusion
The integration of Oculus demonstrates how specialized diagnostic systems can be embedded in an end-to-end digital process chain.
The combination of GDT-based transfer, structured integration of findings, and automatic consolidation creates a workflow that is not only more efficient, but also improves the quality of documentation and analysis.
This makes another step toward integrated, data-based clinical care visible.
