Purpose:To analyze organization of ophthalmology health care in Tuzla canton and use of information technologies(IT).Introduction:IT in ophthalmology is the technology required for the data processing and other information important for patient and essential for building an electronic health record(EHR). IT in ophthalmology should include the study, science, and solution sets for all aspects of data, information and knowledge management in health information processing.Material and methods:We have analyzed organization of ophthalmology health care in Tuzla canton. Data relevant for this research were acquired from annual reports of Tuzla Canton health ministry. All institutions and ambulances were visited and all health care professionals interviewed. A questionnaire was made which included questions for health care professionals about knowledge and use of computers, internet and information technology.Results:Ophthalmology health care in Tuzla canton has paper based medical record. There is no information system with any possibility to exchange data electronically. None of the medical devices is directly connected to the Internet and all data are typed, printed and delivered directly to the patient. All interviewed health care professionals agree that implementation of IT and EHR would contribute and improve work quality.Conclusion:Computer use and easy information access will make a qualitative difference in eye-care delivery in Tuzla canton. Implementation phase will be difficult because it will likely impact present style of practice. Strategy for implementation of IT in medicine in general must be made at the country level.

“…Of course, the use of telecommunications in healthcare has a history as long as that of the telephone; currently, interest is in the transmission of images and other information for diagnosis and care. Much is made of the potential for live, interactive telemedicine, such as consulting between the patient and family in one place and healthcare providers in another through videoconferencing, as described by Murdoch, (1999). But in fact, according to Reich‐Hale, (1999), most telemedicine is done on a desk‐top, and is mostly of the store‐and‐forward type.…”

“…1 Based on this 76 concept, teleophthalmology has evolved from being a research tool to a useful clinical service in many areas of 77 ophthalmic diagnostics and care. Teleophthalmology has been shown to be a valuable means for extending care to 78 larger populations of high-risk patients with diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and/or retinopathy of 79 prematurity.…”
