What are your benefits to take part in EUREQUO?
By collecting data you will be able to monitor your own results over time, or anonymously compare your results with other colleagues, clinics, countries. EUREQUO provides a means to audit surgical results and encourages surgeons to make adjustments to their techniques and improve their outcomes. The information can be used by the individual practitioner in presentations. On the national and international level, you will get a clear picture of the scope of surgical procedures being carried out.
What are the expenses?
The EUREQUO project is co-funded by the European Union in the framework of the Public Health Programme and ESCRS so there is no charge to the individual participating ophthalmic surgeon.
What are the technical requirements for participating?
After registration as a user, internet access is required for entering and storing data within EUREQUO.
When can I start using EUREQUO?
You can start using EUREQUO once you have registered with your Registry Manager and have been issued with a log-in password to the system.
How much time does it take to enter the data into the form (cataract/refractive)?
The software is based on the experience and feedback of many registry systems. More than 90% of the entry fields can be handled just by mouse-click. With a standard internet access, the data entry for pre-op and intra-op data (all data collected in advance) can be realized between 1.0 and 1.5 minutes.
How can I use EUREQUO in my language (or only in English)?
The project language is English. The integrated software allows the translation of all datasets into other languages. These processes are coordinated by the dedicated country registry managers.
How should I organize the workflow for collecting all relevant data?
The data which is required for EUREQUO data forms typically come from different sources within the eye care environment. Therefore it is recommended to collect the data within a folder or a special data form which can be combined with the patient chart. With this workflow the data can be entered into the EUREQUO application by any administration or technical staff.
How can we get data from our HIS/EMR into the data entry form?
The EUREQUO application allows the standardized and automated import of data. Individual interfaces need to be developed based on international IT standards (HL7). More information can be provided by the IT contractors ifa systems AG and integration.AG

How is data protection handled within EUREQUO? Only anonymous data are stored within EUREQUO. Only clinical data without any demographic data are mandatory within the EURQUO datasets.
