Abstract
Presentation Description :
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report “Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow” contained a recommendation regarding surveillance. The recommendation included identifying and validating measures for surveillance and quality of care; integrating eye health outcomes, objective clinical measures, and risk/protective factors into existing clinical-health and population health data collection forms and systems; and analyzing, interpreting, and disseminating information to the public. The motivation for these important goals, the potential policy implications, and the economics of achieving these recommendations will be reviewed.
