Activity Outline
The Fight Corneal Blindness! (FCB!) Project is an international eye health initiative led by the Save Sight Institute (SSI), The University of Sydney. The aim is to evaluate the current practices of clinicians treating patients with corneal conditions and ocular surface disorders, such as keratoconus and dry eye.
The FCB! project delivers a free scientific tool (registry system) that allows optometrists and ophthalmologists to track their patients’ outcomes. It provides easy access to patient outcome data, and allows for rapid generation of summary data and plots to summarise clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Enter data into the registry web based secured system to track patient outcomes & improve patient education/patient-compliance by demonstrating graphs & allowing patients to compare their own responses to treatment against other patients
- Generate individual reports to compare results against peers and compiled national benchmarks, and utilise these to achieve improved clinical efficiencies
- Implement change in their practices in line with the trends being identified by the FCB! Project if their individual results represent unacceptable variation from good practice
