This course is designed to provide the audience with the most current clinical advances in ophthalmology and highlight on-going research taking place at the Scheie Eye Institute in the fields of glaucoma, anterior segment, retinal diseases, genetics, oculoplastic surgery, neuro-ophthalmology and ocular pathology. Evidence-based guidelines are an important foundational element to anchor a population health approach that advances eye and vision health. First, they provide guidance based on sound, objective evidence that a variety of care providers can use to improve the uniformity of messaging about, and the quality of, patient care. Second, they establish a baseline from which to measure improvement in care processes and patient health outcomes. Third, they promote a culture of accountability by enabling performance comparisons and encouraging the uniform adoption of best practices.
