3 weeks into school and my clinical skills in optometry are expanding as I explore this fascinating field. Recently, I’ve learned the value of “Case History” and patient in-take documentation. Throughout the next four years of my optometry school journey, part of my focus will be on: 💎honing my ability to ask open-ended questions 💎swiftly establishing rapport with patients 💎 completing exams in an efficient manner. I invite you to share your insights and experiences on asking probing questions and nurturing the patient-provider relationships. #Optometry #ClinicalSkills #Student #UMSLOptometry #PeerToPeerPractice

Christopher Wolfe's post highlights some confusion related to CLIA. Mainly, the differences between CLIA "Certificate of Waiver" (relatively common in the optometric community if you are performing tests for #osmolarity, #MMP-9 and adenovirus) and a CLIA "Certificate of Registration" (very rare in the optometric community because the number of "moderately complex" tests that are performed in office have been limited, some newer tests like #lactoferrin and #IgE may change this). We thought it would be wise to provide a brief overview of the differences of each "Certificate" The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulate laboratory testing and require clinical laboratories to be certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) before they can operate and accept human specimens for testing. There are different types of CLIA certificates, including the Certificate of Waiver and the Certificate of Registration. Here's how they differ: CLIA Certificate of Waiver: ✔ Laboratories that perform only waived tests are eligible for a Certificate of Waiver. ✔Waived tests are simple tests with a low risk for erroneous results, as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ✔These tests are typically easy to perform and have minimal chance of error when conducted correctly. ✔Examples of waived tests include certain pregnancy tests, dipstick urine tests, and some rapid strep tests. ✔Laboratories with a Certificate of Waiver are subject to fewer regulatory requirements compared to laboratories performing more complex testing. CLIA Certificate of Registration: ✔Laboratories that perform non-waived, moderate, or high complexity testing must obtain a Certificate of Registration. ✔Non-waived tests are those that do not meet the criteria for waived tests. These tests have a higher risk for erroneous results and require more stringent quality control and oversight. ✔Moderate and high complexity tests are categorized based on the complexity of the testing procedures and the level of expertise required to perform them. ✔Laboratories with a Certificate of Registration must comply with more extensive regulatory requirements, including personnel qualifications, quality control procedures, proficiency testing, and laboratory inspections. To summarize, the main difference between a CLIA Certificate of Waiver and a #CLIA Certificate of Registration lies in the complexity of the tests performed. Laboratories conducting only waived tests can obtain a Certificate of Waiver, while those performing non-waived, moderate, or high complexity testing require a Certificate of Registration, which entails more stringent regulatory oversight and compliance. Additional thoughts? Kyle Klute OD FAAOSusan Resnick, OD FAAO (Dipl) FSLS Shane Foster
We just received our CLIA registration! We are probably among a handful of optometric practices in the country to have this! Why is it important for our patients? We have been performing CLIA waved tests for about a decade and this allows us to perform additional lab tests that help us with the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye that we can not perform otherwise. Why is this important for optometry? This would not have occurred without the relationships we have built over the years in Vision Source®. We have to use the knowledge, education and training to serve our patients, we would not do things as well without that relationship! A little backstory I was working my way through the exhibit hall at the American Academy Of Optometry meeting last fall, and I ran into Rebecca Chandler, we began discussing opportunities we made some additional connections and made it happen from there.

The World Council of Optometry is focused on eye health and vision care worldwide. They highlight optometry as a health care profession with this year's theme being support access to eye health care as a human right. A recent press release notes that "the World Health Assembly and United Nations have adopted eye care targets that are ambitious, yet certainly achievable, through a collaborative approach among all eyecare professions. To achieve improved eyecare worldwide, all optometrists and their representative organizations must work proactively with other eye care professions, along with the government, to make eye care accessible, equitable, affordable and effective ... the time is now!" https://lnkd.in/gGtrPGi7 #optometry #visionimpaired #lowvision #eyecare #eyehealthcare #optometrist #eyecareprofessionals #healthcare #healthcareprofession #humanrights #WorldHealthAssembly #UnitedNations #UnitedNationsHumanRights #WorldHealthOrganization #optometrist #accessibility #inclusion

Translating my expertise and experiences from the exam room, to the board room, into classrooms and beyond.
#Juneteenth reminds us of the ongoing need for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in healthcare professions, including optometry. As we commemorate #Juneteenth, it underscores the importance of addressing historical inequities in healthcare access and outcomes for minority communities. #Juneteenth also prompts us to reflect on our roles in cultivating the next generation of healthcare professionals. It highlights the importance of mentorship and education in empowering BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals to pursue careers in optometry and other healthcare fields. By nurturing diverse talent, we can address gaps in how we practice, where we practice, and who we provide care to, empowering and educating those communities along the way. In essence, #Juneteenth encourages optometrists and healthcare professionals to celebrate progress, advocate for equity, and continue working towards a healthcare system that provides high quality, accessible, compassionate, and inclusive care for all. At Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions we are educating current and future healthcare professionals to advance the quality, delivery, and efficacy of healthcare. OptomCAS is now open.
