In this episode, I talk with Nelson Winkler (a medical student at the time) and Cheryl Khanna (Glaucoma attending) at The Mayo Clinic, who analyzed the outcomes of their team based model for Glaucoma care. This physician- led model began in 2008 and has Ophthalmologists working together with Optometrists to deliver glaucoma care. With specific definitions for progression of the disease, patients are referred back to Ophthalmology at critical points or every two years if stable. This model was born out of necessity as they have just two glaucoma sub-specialists to care for a large patient population. It has allowed better allocation of resources so that patients who really need the glaucoma subspecialty care are not over-loaded with patients who are clearly stable.
