Comparison Study of Glaucoma Eye Care Follow-Up Adherence in a High Risk Population

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Glaucoma

In brief

The project aims to determine the effectiveness of a patient-centered health care delivery system focused on improving follow-up adherence in patients diagnosed with glaucoma. Over the course of 1 year, a 6-person team comprised of one attending physician; project managers and community health educators, ophthalmic technician, and patient navigators will complete a baseline visit, baseline assessment and 2-3 follow-up visits. The patient navigator will assist participants in community groups and a portion of the office-based participants with scheduling follow-up appointments
