Measuring clinical practice in optometry is crucial for public service evaluation and professional development. Standardized patients (SPs) are the gold standard for assessing eye examination content, offering valuable insights.

Area of Science:

  • Optometry
  • Healthcare Professions
  • Clinical Practice Measurement

Background:

  • Limited systematic research exists on clinical practice standards in optometry.
  • Evidence-based research is needed to define optometric eye examination content.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review techniques for measuring clinical practice in healthcare.
  • Discuss applications of these techniques to primary care optometry.
  • Highlight the need for evidence-based studies in optometry.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical practice measurement techniques.
  • Comparison of three main approaches: medical record abstraction, clinical vignettes, and standardized patients (SPs).

Main Results:

  • Standardized patients (SPs) are identified as the 'gold standard' for assessing clinical consultations.
  • Computerized clinical vignettes can also yield useful data.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing evidence-based studies in optometry is vital for professional advancement.
  • Standardized patient methodology offers the most robust evaluation of optometric practice.
