the hospital, for whatever reason. • Human resources: both the number of people required (capacity) and the skills required (competence). • Quality: measuring and ensuring high quality clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. • Operating efficiency: ensuring that scarce resources are optimally used. • Financial viability: pricing to ensure affordability, and putting in place revenue and cost...
متن کاملRefractive error blindness.
Recent data suggest that a large number of people are blind in different parts of the world due to high refractive error because they are not using appropriate refractive correction. Refractive error as a cause of blindness has been recognized only recently with the increasing use of presenting visual acuity for defining blindness. In addition to blindness due to naturally occurring high refrac...

متن کاملRefractive error, axial length, and relative peripheral refractive error before and after the onset of myopia.
PURPOSE To evaluate refractive error, axial length, and relative peripheral refractive error before, during the year of, and after the onset of myopia in children who became myopic compared with emmetropes. METHODS Subjects were 605 children 6 to 14 years of age who became myopic (at least -0.75 D in each meridian) and 374 emmetropic (between -0.25 D and +1.00 D in each meridian at all visits...
متن کاملInfluence of uncorrected refractive error and unmet refractive error on visual impairment in a Brazilian population
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of blindness and visual impairment are widely based on best-corrected visual acuity excluding uncorrected refractive errors (URE) as a visual impairment cause. Recently, URE was included as a cause of visual impairment, thus emphasizing the burden of visual impairment due to refractive error (RE) worldwide is substantially higher. The p...
