[FIDUSweb version 2.0 : An electronic platform to establish a cooperative university eye network]

Due to the increasing digitalization in ophthalmology, increasingly more documentation and diagnostic data are becoming electronically available. In order to improve patient care beyond sectoral boundaries, electronic cooperation portals were introduced in Münster and Homburg, which serve the networking with ophthalmologists in private practice.

This article reports on the implementation of an electronic cooperation portal at the University Eye Hospitals in Münster and Homburg in 2015 and 2016.

The FIDUSweb represents a data protection-compliant cooperation portal that can be easily set up. By implementing it as a web portal all terminal equipment and also electronic patient files can be networked. Particularly important functions are the transmission of medical reports in real time, appointment booking functions, the transmission of imaging data and shared treatment documentation.

Cross-sectoral care can greatly benefit from the use of the FIDUSweb, especially in digital and multimodal ophthalmology.
