Purpose: To present a comprehensive electronic medical record for documenting key features in patients receiving intravitreal injections.
Methods: The electronic Bonn record form is a customized data entry template with discrete data elements, graphic presentations, space for narrative flexible text fields summarizing all relevant parameters such as: visual acuity, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, biomicroscopic findings and treatment data of sequential visits. One column is designed for each separate visit.
Results: The template is based on a Microsoft Access database with customized data input frontends, allowing electronic storage for further statistical and graphical analysis.  The program is also linked to the Heidelberg EyeExplorer permitting review of all digital images of the Spectralis HRA+OCT directly onto the same screen. The template operates in 11 languages, establishing a unique international platform allowing for the comparison of results from different continents.
Conclusion: The structured ‘electronic Bonn record form’, highlights the essential key values of the patient visit from baseline through current examination and makes it available on computer screen; thus decreasing the time and workload, while increasing the efficiency of the time spent in patient evaluations. The novel ‘electronic Bonn record form’ will guide the physician though the algorithm of decisions for or against further injections.
