Preventable blindness has massive social, economic, and societal impacts around the world. The Armenian EyeCare Project (AECP) is addressing this through a network of regional and subspecialty ophthalmological clinics, but current data collection, storage and sharing methods are inadequate. With the organization’s input we conducted focused research to determine current state and best practices, and synthesized this information to develop recommendations and implementation plans for Electronic Medical Record and teleconsultation systems which would improve data sharing for better patient care.
