| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | The aim of the study was to test the key hypothesis that: Co-management of care in a peripheral ophthalmic clinic will improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of, and patient satisfaction with, day-care management of cataract surgery. Three objectives were identified: 1.To assess the value of introducing a trained ophthalmic nurse into the care of patients with cataract attending the peripheral clinic 2. To ascertain the best site for pre-operative assessment (peripheral or main hospital) 3. To evaluate the post-operative management of patients including possible role changes in the multi-disciplinary team |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Cataract |
| Intervention | Patients were randomly allocated to receive either the experimental (introduction of a trained ophthalmic nurse) or control (standard) model of care. N = 31 - intervention, N = 32 - control |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | For both groups, visual outcomes (acuity and function), anxiety and depression, costs to patients and the NHS, and patient satisfaction were the outcome measures selected. Observational data relating to development of staff roles were also collected. All data were collected by an independent researcher. |
