Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.4K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.6K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neonatology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of preventable childhood blindness in preterm infants.
  • Early detection and treatment of ROP are crucial for preventing severe vision loss.
  • Telemedicine and digital retinal imaging offer solutions for ROP screening, especially with workforce shortages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the successful implementation of a RetCam® screening program for ROP in a large tertiary academic neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
  • To evaluate the operational aspects, challenges, and benefits of using RetCam® for ROP screening in a real-world clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • A RetCam® ROP screening program was established and operated over a 21-month period.
  • 887 retinal examinations were performed on preterm infants in the NICU.
  • The program focused on documenting digital images, tracking disease progression, and enabling timely interventions.

Main Results:

  • The RetCam® screening program was successfully implemented, facilitating 887 exams.
  • The program allowed for improved documentation, understanding of disease progression, and earlier intervention for ROP.
  • This technological approach supported the care of high-risk preterm infants.

Conclusions:

  • RetCam® screening is an effective tool for ROP detection and management in academic NICU settings.
  • The utilization of technology in ROP screening enhances patient care and outcomes for preterm infants.
  • Successful implementation requires addressing operational challenges and leveraging gained knowledge.
