Use cases

One logbook, four ways in.

A trainee keeps a portable record of their cases, a consultant audits their own outcomes, a department sees its figures without seeing patients, and a community optometrist sends the 4-week result back. Each starts free and needs nothing installed.

Ophthalmology trainees (ICO, RCOphth and equivalent programmes)

Trainees building a logbook

Record every cataract case with your role and supervision, keep the logbook on your own devices and account, and print a case statement with your outcomes for your training portfolio or annual review.

  • Your role in each case: primary surgeon, supervised, assisting
  • Outcomes by surgeon grade, the way NOD reports them
  • The logbook moves with you between hospitals
  • Excel import for the cases you already logged
Recording a case: role, biometry, IOL and outcome
Consultant and career-grade cataract surgeons

Consultants auditing their own outcomes

See your PCR rate, visual outcomes and refractive accuracy as you go, against UK NOD figures, and keep identifiable details encrypted on your own device for appraisal and revalidation.

  • PCR by the NOD definition, with combined procedures excluded
  • Final VA 6/12 or better, with and without co-pathology
  • Refraction within ±0.5 D and ±1.0 D of target
  • A statement and audit table to bring to appraisal

Clinical directors, audit leads and department administrators

Hospitals and departments

Give the department one workspace: surgeons log cases into it, the hospital holds its own encryption key, and owners and auditors see outcome reports built from coded answers only, with no patient identifiers.

  • Approve people and roles yourself
  • The hospital’s own key for patient details, shared with its members
  • Reports withhold counts under 5, and log who opened them
  • Your hospital’s name, colour and logo

Community optometrists

Enter the 4-week check from a code on the patient’s slip: VA, refraction, IOP, findings and an outcome. No account and no patient identifiers are needed, and the result goes straight to the operating surgeon.

  • One page, on any phone or computer
  • Your name, practice and CORU number are recorded with the result
  • Each code works once and expires after 90 days
  • Medisoft-style findings and outcomes
