First web-enabled system for those with vision loss
Lighthouse International and CNIB,a Canadian not-for-profit
organization that provides services across Canada for those
living with vision loss, bring the state-of-the-art Electronic
Vision Rehabilitation Record (EVRR) to over 50 CNIB locations
across Canada.This computerized care system incorporates for
the first time patient and professional assessments of progress.
Information from the collective international database will
impact and improve treatment by all specialists in the vision
rehabilitation field and may impact other health care fields as
well. For example, a vision rehabilitation therapist in New York
will learn what treatments are most effective from data collected
from colleagues in Toronto and may alter or revise treatment
based on that information. EVRR is accessible to people who
are visually impaired and can easily be customized to meet the
needs of different organizations. It features a user-friendly web
interface and built-in administrative tools.
