Integration of diagnostic devices reports into patient files

Purpose

1.1. Automate electronic transfer, parsing, and integration of diagnostic device reports (OCT, Fundus cameras, Visual Field analyzers) into patient electronic health records (EHRs).
1.2. Automate documentation, error reduction, and eliminate manual uploads for ophthalmology clinics.
1.3. Enable timely availability of diagnostic data for clinicians by automating sync from devices to patient records.
1.4. Automate data standardization, HIPAA-compliant data handling, and structured report archiving.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated event upon new diagnostic report file generation in device or local/server directory.
2.2. Automate sync when device completes a study and exports report (PDF, DICOM, XML, HL7).
2.3. Upload to EHR automates when device API notifies of file availability.
2.4. Automate on scheduled polling for new diagnostic data by backend integration service.
