Optos Article

A study conducted at a prominent research university, found a 28 minute (33%) reduction in patient visit duration after implementing centralized optomap imaging.

The project was undertaken to reduce patient visit time. Photography was identified as a major bottleneck in patient movement and clinic efficiency.

Key process changes included:

• training ophthalmic technicians to perform optomap in addition to OCTs
• placing imaging equipment in adjacent rooms
• better aligning staff and doctor schedules
