As an essential element of the comprehensive rehabilitation efforts at Northport VA Medical Center, and as a service whose demand is projected to increase substantially with the expanding proportion of aging veterans, eye/vision care has become increasingly important. As a result, the administration of the Medical Center decided to heed the suggestions of Congress and the Director of Optometry in VA Central Office and reorganize the delivery of eye/vision services so the ever-increasing demand could be met more rationally, efficiently and effectively. In this paper, the Northport VA Medical Center's Comprehensive Eye/Vision Program, including the residency program in rehabilitative optometry, will be described and the benefits of the reorganization will be discussed.
作为北港退伍军人事务部医疗中心全面康复工作的重要组成部分,且鉴于随着老年退伍军人比例不断扩大,对该服务的需求预计将大幅增加,眼/视力护理变得越发重要。因此,医疗中心管理层决定听从国会及退伍军人事务部中央办公室验光主任的建议,对眼/视力服务的提供方式进行重组,以便能更合理、高效且有效地满足不断增长的需求。本文将介绍北港退伍军人事务部医疗中心的综合眼/视力项目,包括康复验光住院医师项目,并探讨重组带来的益处。
