Svjetlost Eye Clinic Optimises Operations with Harmony from Topcon Healthcare
Published on
In today’s fast-evolving healthcare landscape, technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing patient care, improving efficiency, and streamlining workflows. Svjetlost Eye Clinic, a leading university hospital with five specialised centers, has embraced this transformation by integrating Harmony, Topcon Healthcare’s advanced data management platform. The result? A seamless, connected, and efficient system that has redefined how the clinic operates across multiple locations.
Elevating the Patient Experience with Harmony
From the moment a patient steps into Svjetlost Eye Clinic, Harmony ensures a smooth and efficient journey. The platform captures key patient information from check-in through diagnosis, integrating data from various tests and scans into a single, accessible record. This reduces redundancies and ensures that clinicians have all necessary insights at their fingertips.
For patients, this means less waiting, fewer repeated tests, and a more personalised care experience. The ability to centralise and manage patient records digitally eliminates paperwork, allowing doctors to focus on what matters most—delivering high-quality eye care.
Seamless Multi-Site Operations and Enhanced Collaboration
Managing patient data across multiple locations is a challenge for any large healthcare provider. With Harmony, Svjetlost Eye Clinic has overcome these hurdles, ensuring real-time access to patient records across all sites.
For instance, if a Svjetlost patient initially seen in Sarajevo requires further treatment in Zagreb, there is no need for paper files or manual data transfers. Harmony securely shares essential medical records across locations, ensuring continuity of care and timely decision-making. This seamless connectivity eliminates administrative bottlenecks and enhances the efficiency of referrals and treatment planning.
Furthermore, Harmony fosters collaboration among ophthalmologists and optometrists by enabling secure and immediate exchange of vital patient information. By reducing administrative burdens and streamlining communication, the platform allows healthcare professionals to work together more effectively, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Streamlining Workflow with Device-Agnostic Integration
One of the major challenges for modern eye clinics is the diversity of diagnostic devices from multiple manufacturers. Harmony addresses this by offering a vendor-inclusive solution that integrates seamlessly with all ophthalmic instruments, regardless of brand or modality.
Dr. Ivan Gabric, an ophthalmologist at Svjetlost Eye Clinic, emphasises the impact of this feature: “Harmony changed the workflow completely. It is device-agnostic—you have access to all your patient scans, regardless of which device or scan modality you're using. Plus, it doesn’t matter at which of our locations the scan was taken. You always have access to those records, which helps in making better clinical decisions.”
This integration allows clinicians to view all relevant patient data on a single screen, significantly enhancing diagnostic precision, especially for complex cases requiring multiple imaging modalities. By automating traditionally manual tasks such as transcription and data entry, Harmony also reduces the risk of human error and enables staff to dedicate more time to patient care.
Ensuring Data Security and Building Patient Trust
With digital healthcare advancements comes the responsibility of maintaining stringent data security standards. Harmony is designed to meet high levels of data protection, ensuring that all patient records are securely stored and accessible only to authorised personnel.
By adhering to industry regulations and best practices for data privacy, Harmony reinforces patient trust and safeguards sensitive medical information. Patients can feel confident that their records are managed with the utmost security, while clinicians benefit from the convenience of instant, secure access to critical data.
Setting a New Standard in Eye Care
Through the adoption of Harmony, Svjetlost Eye Clinic has redefined its approach to patient care, workflow efficiency, and inter-clinic collaboration. The platform’s ability to unify data, integrate seamlessly with various ophthalmic devices, and ensure secure communication has empowered the clinic to provide a higher standard of service.
By embracing digital transformation, Svjetlost has set an example for other institutions looking to optimise healthcare delivery through technology. As the clinic continues its journey with Harmony, it demonstrates how innovation can drive meaningful improvements in patient experience and streamline the clinical workflow.
