Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

19
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

70
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

521
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

617
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The Paediatric Optometry Alignment Program (POAP) was initiated in 2016 as a pilot to enhance access to specialized pediatric ophthalmology care.
  • The program aimed to serve as a community-based model for pediatric eye care if proven effective and satisfactory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of integrated care between hospital ophthalmology and community optometry on paediatric eyecare access.
  • To assess patient and professional satisfaction with the Paediatric Optometry Alignment Program (POAP).

Main Methods:

  • Temporal trend analysis of ophthalmology waitlists before and after the POAP pilot.
  • Surveys assessing family satisfaction with post-discharge care (n=30).
  • Online survey of participating optometrists (n=45, 46% response rate).

Main Results:

  • Wait times for children exceeding clinical recommendations decreased from 72% to 36%.
  • 67% of families utilized community optometrists as recommended, rating the experience positively.
  • Optometrists reported high satisfaction, increased confidence, and involvement in paediatric eye care.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated care models facilitate improved access to tertiary paediatric eye services.
  • The POAP demonstrated high satisfaction among families and community optometrists.
  • Enhancing formal clinical information transfer is crucial for future program development.
