Eye care is an issue: improving the pathways of care (2012)

Description

This poster was created for the Lowitja Institute 2012 National Conference on Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care, 'CQI for everyday and everybody', and uses diagrams and bullet points to explain the barriers and solutions to close the gap for Indigenous eye health. It covers the following areas to argue for CQI:

• facts and current situation (from the National Indigenous eye health survey: minum barreng)
• consultations informing The roadmap to close the gap for vision
• recommendations from The roadmap to close the gap for vision
• role of coordination and care management
• examples of eye care pathways
• value of CQI
• responsibilities of primary care
• CQI questions for primary care.

The poster offers a useful summary for all those working in Australian Indigenous eye health policy and practice.
