Key sentences highlighting the essence of the presentation
1. Collaboration with Engineering helps to improve patient care, teaching, and research for Ophthalmology.
2. An affordable and portable slit lamp is developed. 3. The slit lamp can work with a smartphone for telemedicine. 4. A high fidelity eye model to simulate cataract surgery for training is developed. 5. This eye simulation model provides feedback if capsular rupture is detected.
Abstract Transdisciplinary collaboration between ophthalmologists and engineers sparks innovative ideas that drive advancements in eye care. We are presenting two such innovations -‐ one a diagnostic device, one a teaching tool -‐ from this partnership. The first is an affordable and portable slit lamp (MiSight) developed for remote settings to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. This slit lamp uses a flashlight as its light source and creates a slit beam with adjustable height, width, and orientation. All components can be easily assembled and disassembled rapidly, making the whole device highly portable. A smartphone can be attached to the slit lamp for capturing images and sending them to a specialist. The second of our developments is a high fidelity eye simulation model for training residents in cataract surgery to lessen the effects of an otherwise steep learning curve, allowing them to practice incision, capsulorhexis, hydrodissection, and phacoemulsification. Furthermore, this model is also capable of detecting capsular rupture if it occurs during training. From (high) tech to (human) touch Mr. Yves Mottet, Directeur Général, Hôpital Ophtalmique Jules-‐Gonin, Fondation Asile des Aveugles, Lausanne, Switzerland

He aims to place its foundation as global visual health provider among the network of best players.
Key sentences highlighting the essence of the presentation
1. Technology offers perspectives like never and authorizes great hopes. 2. Some examples of collaboration between Jules-‐Gonin University Eye Hospital and EPFL

potentials. Abstract Starting with a “Star Treck” idea (3D bioprinted eye), the presentation will focus on three examples of recent high tech developments (augmented reality glasses, eye pressure measure lenses, retinal implant device) and then show how human factors – both patients and professionals – make the difference: not only doctors and technology are sufficient to succeed, but also a whole set of combined competences of other professionals and the full implication of the patients.

Patient Oriented Outcomes Dr. Caleb Stowell, Vice-‐President Research and Development, ICHOM; Senior Researcher, Harvard Business School – Mr. Jacob Lippa, Director of Global Implementation, ICHOM; Research Associate, Harvard Business School
Caleb Stowell is Vice-‐President Research and Development, International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) and Senior Researcher, Harvard Business School. His role involves overseeing the development of ICHOM’s Standard Sets, developed in collaboration with international physician and registry leaders and patient advocates. In the past, he worked under Michael Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor at Harvard Business School to develop and expand the concepts of value-‐based health care. He holds a medical degree from Harvard Medical School.
Abstract Despite the trillions of dollars invested into health care annually, we rarely collect systematically the end results of care – outcomes. Lacking meaningful outcomes data, patients have little knowledge of guide their decisions on the best-‐performing provider for their needs. Likewise, providers themselves are unaware of dramatic variations in outcomes across institutions and miss tangible improvement opportunities. In some pioneering areas, routine outcome measurement exists, but for most areas of medicine and in most countries, it is absent. We formed ICHOM in 2012 to accelerate the move to outcomes transparency by defining global Standard Sets of the outcomes that matter most to patients by condition. In this talk, Caleb will provide a background on the rationale for these Standard Sets, a brief description of the process used to develop them, and Jacob will describe how they are being implemented around the world.

Key sentences highlighting the essence of the presentation
1. Wrong intraocular lens implantation is a "never event", is serious and potentially avoidable.
2. Despite best efforts, incorrect IOL insertions continue to occur and can incur financial penalties and loss of patient confidence.
3. We describe the causes of wrong IOL insertion in Moorfields Eye Hospital. 4. Actions taken to improve are described including new protocols, sharing of processes
with other WAEH members, simulation training and empowering non-‐medical theatre staff.
5. Potential technological preventative strategies such as EPR directed IOL choices and alerts are outlined.
Abstract In the UK the implantation of the incorrect intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract surgery is considered a serious incident and classified as a ³never event² if the patient requires a further procedure or develops a complication. There is controversy over the inclusion of this incidence as a never event, with its requirement for national reporting and potential punitive financial consequences, but there is agreement that it is a significantly poor event which reduces patient confidence and which is potentially avoidable. Moorfields has had a number of these over the last few years, despite significant changes in preventative measures. Causes are reviewed and include biometry relating to the incorrect patient filed in the records, biometry printing out in a non-‐standard format, more than

Abstract The Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Emergency Department (ED) manages 40,000 acute eye and ENT presentations each year, approximately 70% of which are ophthalmological. In late 2012 performance was sub-‐ optimal compared to the National Emergency Access NEAT Targets (NEAT). With the hospital about to undertake a major redevelopment project there was an opportunity to pilot new models of care for eye and ENT which would in turn inform design of the new ED. Some interim physical works were undertaken allowing a more visible and streamlined model for triaging and managing eye emergencies. In parallel some reorganisation of the general ophthalmology out patient service allowed the development of an acute ophthalmology review stream decreasing the number of ED based reviews by providing an alternative short term follow up pathway. In the first 12 months the NEAT seen in time target for ophthalmology patients improved from 55% to 72% (target 75%) and the NEAT 4 hour target from 71% to 86% (target 80%).
A telephone review stream was also implemented to try and reduce further the numbers of patients requiring physical face to face review. Analysis of this pilot is currently being undertaken and will be presented.

Key sentences highlighting the essence of the presentation
1. The presentation will describe the development of a technician-‐delivered glaucoma clinic within a UK National Health Service hospital.
2. The clinics introduce a more streamlined pathway for seeing existing stable glaucoma patients and new low risk¹ glaucoma referrals into the hospital.
3. Patient journey times and patient experiences within the service will be discussed. 4. The presentation will cover the importance of information technology and
communication systems for facilitating consultant Œremote review¹ of cases. 5. The presentation will discuss some of the challenges to implementation.
Abstract This presentation will describe the development of a technician-‐delivered glaucoma screening and monitoring service introduced to help improve capacity and the patient experience within glaucoma outpatient clinics in a London hospital.
The service involves the use of ophthalmic technicians to collect clinical data from patients, with a specialist reviewing these data remotely; thus, it removes the face-‐to-‐face doctor consultation. Glaucoma detection and monitoring makes use of automated functional testing and digital imaging technologies which aid the clinician with their clinical decision making; as such, it lends itself to a ‘remote review’ care model. However, the diverse number and costs of ‘patient management systems’ associated with each technology may be perceived as a barrier to adoption of this model; we shall discuss our strategies in managing this issue. Patient suitability and identification for the New Patient Service and Stable Monitoring service will be discussed, as well as the staffing model for the service. We shall present our streamlined pathways through the clinic, which have evolved as the service has developed. The patient journey time in this clinic averages at around 50 minutes, compared with 163 minutes in the glaucoma outpatients department. The overall first visit discharge rate for the new patient screening service is 58%; the proportion of patients attending the Stable Monitoring Service who have been rebooked into the service is now 83%. Patient satisfaction with the new service is high. The clinics took some time to run at full capacity, reasons for which will be discussed. Early analysis suggests that there exists a discrepancy between consultant reviewer management decisions for stable patients, suggesting some may be more risk-‐averse than others

when managing patients seen within this model. We will present the proportion of false negatives generated from the screening service-‐ that is the proportion of patients discharged through remote review who were later deemed to require monitoring at a face-‐to-‐face review. The role of these clinics in terms of dealing with capacity issues within the UK NHS and their potential worldwide will also be discussed.

Abstract Building and Developing Talent in Eye Healthcare: Attract and Retain the Gen Y
Forbes.com in January 2012 reported that most corporate structures are out of sync with the lifestyle desires of Generation Y. Organizations need to rethink the way their employees work, making major changes that will accommodate the unique work desires of Gen Y. What’s in it for organizations? They will increase employee performance by reducing turnover and have happier, more productive Gen Y employees. Studies show that by 2025, Generation Y will make up roughly 75% of the world’s workforce. With this many millennial making up the majority of the workforce by 2025 — only 10 years away — employers can’t afford not to take notice. As the rapid growth industry, are we in Healthcare sector aware of all these issues? We should agree that the Gen Y will be the next leader in the industry and it is important to attract and retain them in order to ensure the successful of the succession planning by avoiding the mismatch between their unique personality, aspiration and expectation towards the organization, culture and leadership approaches.

Medical University, India, 1998.
Abstract Evidence-‐based manpower planning is often lacking even in developed countries with robust health care systems. As many developed countries face population aging, growth and increasing life expectancy, eye disease and demand for eye care is likely to increase. Moreover, the prevalence of several chronic eye conditions increases with age. In Singapore, the population aged 65 and above is projected to rise by 207 percent, from 0.46 million in 2010 to 1.63 million in 2050 (from 10 to 31 percent of the population). Since training is a prolonged and expensive process, preemptive planning for workforce requirements is essential. In this presentation, we will share the system dynamics model approach to forecast the supply and the number of eye care professionals required for an aging population in Singapore up to the year 2040 under several plausible future scenarios. We will also share how this one study managed to influence our allied health training strategy and the development of new training programme.

Abstract The Moorfields Way: building a culture of courage and ownership. Moorfields is the leading provider of eye health services in the UK and a world-‐class centre of excellence for ophthalmic research and education. We enjoy a first-‐class reputation developed over two centuries. In recent years, we have doubled in size and extended our geographical reach, increasing our locations from 13 in 2009 to 23 in 2014. As we have grown, we have seen several trends emerge. Although staff engagement is outstandingly high, we are one of the ten highest scoring hospitals in the country, we are worse than our peer group for staff experiencing bullying and harassment, or reporting errors or near misses. Our patients tell us that our communication doesn¹t always live up to our high clinical standards. Our strategic response has been a programme of cultural change. The Moorfields Way. Using appreciative enquiry, we set about involving patients and staff on a grand scale in what they felt needed to change. After over 1400 contributions, the majority through face to face meetings, we have arrived at a compelling set of commitments that we have made to each other, and a set of behaviours that bring those commitments to life. This presentation will chart our journey and the lessons we have learned as we have worked in partnership with staff and patients to build The Moorfields Way.

The EYEbus is a fully equipped bus with a mobile ophthalmic examination unit. Recently the Dutch Government is addressing the healthcare market more and more as a potential export product. By subventions they stimulate organisations to invest in business abroad. One of the products they selected is the EYEbus. They have asked the Rotterdam Eye Hospital and The Eye Care Network to conduct a feasibility study on mobile eye care in China. With great support from WAEH partners SNEC and TMUEH the Rotterdam Eye Hospital was able to start this feasibility study. TMUEH is the local partner in our research. This project is therefore a beautiful example of knowledge exchange within the WAEH, leading to innovation. The study has the objective to determine whether exporting the mobile eye care concept is technically, financially, organizationally and environmentally feasible and valuable.
The Dutch EYEbus acts as an example to determine the potential export product. Next to the process of realising the feasibility study the presentation will also focus on the preliminary results of the study and plans for the future.

Engaging consumers, feedback and the consumer register 4. Change management supporting partnering with consumers 5. Impact and outcome of our partnering with consumers agenda to date
Abstract Partnering with our consumers to improve the quality and safety of health care has not only gained conceptual momentum over the last 5 years, but is now embedded into accreditation and performance frameworks. In Australia the safety and quality framework for health care describes a vision for consumer centred care, and sets out assessable actions.
The three key criteria for partnering with consumers are:
1. Consumer partnership in service planning �
2. Consumer participation in designing care � 3. Consumer partnership in service measurement and evaluation
The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Victoria, Australia, has made a fundamental shift in how we work, to move us forward on the partnership journey. As a specialist, state-‐wide hospital the

challenges in the implementation of true partnership are at times different from other generalist services. Some things have worked in our favour, while others have proved more complex. However, seeking our patient¹s experience, involvement and feedback; building our consumer register; and implementing an engagement framework has improved the understanding of why we should change. Additionally the process has also begun to en-‐grain the expectation of consumers as partners, both in the care we provide and the decisions we make.

work well for ophthalmic surgical processes. Abstract Simulation training is successful tool for increasing safety in high risk industries and is used widely in medical areas such as anesthetics but there is little available for surgical specialties and none for ophthalmology. Despite establishing clear protocols and multiple improvements, Moorfields continues to have serious incidents in surgery, due to human error. Moorfields developed and ran, in collaboration with UCLH, the first UK pilot of ophthalmic surgical simulation training. Senior clinicians from MEH were recruited and underwent external training to become simulation trainers. The pilots aimed to be as authentic as possible whilst removing the risk of harm by not involving real patients. During each training scenario, full-‐operating teams worked in a simulated theatre and the scenarios were based on real Moorfields incidents such as the insertion of the incorrect intraocular lens (IOL) and wrong site surgery. Scenarios were performed using real surgical equipment and a specially adapted simulation mannequin, which could speak, be medically monitored and has an eye which could be operated on. The scenario was observed via cameras and a one-‐way mirror, and could be adapted as events unfolded.
It was filmed and scoring tools were used for individual and team performance. A full debrief followed to reinforce learning in a supportive environment. Over 60 training episodes involved consultants, anesthetists, nursing staff, trainees and ODPs. Feedback from those being trained was high, rising from 7.7/10 to 9.2/10 as comments were used to improve subsequent training sessions.

9TH ANNUAL MEETING I WORLD ASSOCIATION OF EYE HOSPITALS
Abstract Chronic eye diseases are a major cause of visual impairment and blindness around the world. The need for long-‐term monitoring of these diseases, with frequent, time-‐consuming visits to hospital eye clinics, places a huge burden on both patients and hospital eye services. A new form of medical imaging device, termed binocular optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential to reinvent the eye examination for the 21st Century, and thus greatly improve the care of patients with these conditions. In this presentation I will describe this new technology and its potential to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency of hospital eye services.
