  6. E-Consultation • As described in the previous slide offers partners the opportunity to obtain consultation on difficult patients from an expert with the added opportunity to interact during the evaluation process and to share results of treatment in these patients

  7. The consultation process goes like this: • The partner is identified, trained, assigned a passwordand user name, andwhen needed given a camera and computer • The partner is assigned to a mentor team • A challenging patient is photographed by the partner and the history and pictures of the case are uploaded and sent • The mentor is alerted, answers the consult, and a dialogue is established • The partner closes the case when it is completed

  8. Mentor Teams are made up of experts in the following sub-specialties • Cornea • Retina • Glaucoma • Oculo-plastics • Pediatric ophthalmology/strabismus • Uveitis • ROP • Genetics • Retinoblastoma • Cataract • Neuro-ophthalmology • Etc.

  9. The patient’s clinical condition is documented with a digital camera* *The camera should be set at 640x480, PC or TV to obtain smallest picture

  10. Partner logs on to web site • Go to: www.orbis.org • Click on Cyber-Sight (left side of screen scroll down ¼ screen) • Click on Cyber-Sight again on right side of screen • Click on E-consultation • Add user name and password– these are assigned by ORBIS • This brings up the formatted page for patient information upload

  11. Partner sees this screen and is greeted by name

  12. Partner Selects sub-specialty from “drop down” menu

  13. Sub-specialty selected

  14. Strabismus format

  15. Pictures have been uploaded

  16. Partner submits this information I know the child needs glasses, patching, and surgery. How would this be done best? Should I cut the plus? If so should I cut the same percentage in each eye? Is it possible that wearing glasses will result in alignment? What should I do first?

  17. The mentor sees the patient information, pictures, diagnosis, plan, and questions

  18. The mentor Answers

  19. A dialogue continues until The partner closes the case

  20. Cyber-Sight Some examples of consultations

  23. Mentor suggestion:Simultaneous abduction: Duane IV Partner diagnosis: Left eye fibrous tissue

  24. Partner diagnosis:Blowout fracture postop, recess RSR Mentor advises:Forced ductions, likely need to free RIR

  25. Subconjunctival hemorrhage: Partner and mentor agree

  26. Partner and mentor agree: Conjunctival laceration

  27. Note double ring sign of optic nerve hypoplasia Mentor: Unilateral hypoplasia of the optic nerve Partner: Amblyopia?
