    Area of Science:

    • Optometry and Public Health
    • Healthcare Management
    • Clinical Informatics

    Background:

    • The Dorchester House Multi-Service Center, an affiliate of the New England College of Optometry, sought to enhance its eye-care services.
    • Traditional record-keeping and evaluation methods may not fully capture the complexities of patient care and service delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of implementing problem-oriented records, performance audits, and a clinical index in a community-based eye-care setting.
    • To assess the effectiveness of these tools in improving communication, quality of care, and overall service performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of problem-oriented medical records (POMR) within the eye-care service.
    • Establishment of a performance audit system to review patient care and teaching quality.

  • Development and utilization of a clinical index for monitoring service performance.

    • Main Results:

    • Problem-oriented records were found to significantly improve interprofessional communication and foster logical clinical reasoning.
    • Performance audits demonstrated effectiveness in assuring the quality of patient care and educational activities.
    • The clinical index provided valuable insights into the comprehensive performance of the eye-care service.

    Conclusions:

    • The integrated use of problem-oriented records, performance audits, and a clinical index offers a robust framework for enhancing eye-care services.
    • These systematic approaches contribute to better patient management, quality assurance, and operational efficiency in community health settings.
