Briefing / Roundtable: a vision for ophthalmology
The outpatient model needs to change – and ophthalmology could be a good place to start. A recent HFMA roundtable, supported by Allergan, discussed how recent innovations can be embedded and further change encouraged.
Participants discussed changes that could be made to the ophthalmology pathway and how practitioner roles might change to support these. They also covered the need for the payments system to support new working practices, the importance of understanding whole pathway costs, and opportunities to improve the data collected around outpatient appointments.
