Increase the number of patients who have had preventative eye care screening
About this activity
Use the QI template below to increase the number of patients who have had preventative eye care screening.
Goal
Over a 12-month period increase the number of opportunities embedded within the practice to discuss eye health screening with patients.
Measures
At the start of the activity period, identify existing opportunities to discuss eye screening with patients. Compare this to the number of opportunities embedded at the end of the project.
Improvement ideas
- Establish relationships with your local optometrists, for instance by hosting a “get to know you” morning tea.
- Enhance the new patient forms by including the question: “When was your last eye exam?”
- Utilise Pen CAT to generate a list of eligible patients at higher risk of eye health issues that would benefit from regular eye check-ups due to pre-existing conditions.
- Implement promotional materials within the practice premises and leverage social media platforms for a targeted eye health promotional campaign.
