We
have ample evidence that preventing
|
|
|
blindness
is a moral and economic imperative
|
|
|
| • |
The
challenge is to translate that commitment
|
|
|
into
systemic healthcare interventions that are
|
|
durable
and reproducible
|
|
|
| • |
“One
off” programs and those that are not
|
|
|
embedded
within the mainstream of care are
|
|
|
short-lived
and ineffective
|
|
|
| • |
In
today’s environment, the failure to prevent
|
|
|
blindness
must be viewed in the same context
|
|
|
as
all other preventable medical errors
|
|
|
| • |
The
only practical solution is through
|
|
|
information
technology
