The cost effectiveness of selected optometric procedures.

L R Purcell, J S Nuffer, S D Clements

    Journal of the American Optometric Association
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cost-effectiveness studies are crucial for determining acceptable optometric care levels amid increasing third-party funding. This research developed a method to assess optometric procedure cost-effectiveness, considering patient satisfaction and professional acceptance.

    Area of Science:

    • Health economics
    • Optometry
    • Public health policy

    Background:

    • Increasing government and third-party funding in optometric care necessitates greater regulation.
    • Cost-effectiveness studies are becoming vital in defining acceptable standards for vision care providers.
    • A need exists for quantifiable methods to evaluate the economic viability of optometric interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and apply a method for determining the cost-effectiveness of optometric procedures.
    • To evaluate three distinct models of optometric patient care based on defined cost criteria.
    • To identify the most cost-effective model of optometric care for a specific patient group.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel methodology for assessing the cost-effectiveness of optometric procedures.

  • Utilized patient record data to establish quantifiable cost criteria.
  • Applied criteria including actual cost, patient satisfaction, and professional acceptance to three care models.

    • Main Results:

    • A quantifiable method for determining optometric procedure cost-effectiveness was successfully developed.
    • The developed criteria (cost, patient satisfaction, professional acceptance) were applied to three care models.
    • Comparative analysis identified the most cost-effective optometric care model among the evaluated options.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed cost-effectiveness framework provides a robust tool for evaluating optometric care models.
    • This approach can guide policy decisions and resource allocation in vision care.
    • Understanding cost-effectiveness is essential for navigating future regulatory landscapes in optometry.
