mental status with increasing forgetfulness pointing towards 40. dementia. She also remembered that he once complained of visual aura while doing gardening and after that he had photophobia for a while. She says he needs to undergo a dilated eye examination to diagnose retinopathy as he is complaining of blurred vision and floaters occasionally with some dry eyes. She says he uses over-the-counter Visine eye drops as a remedy, which she understood is for keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
Lessons Learned:
Teachings from this particular case study had information on CVA; symptoms, medications, diagnostic studies, etc. Additionally, the comorbidities were also given, which was helpful to understand the complications that could lead to CVA. If patients don’t have annual eye examinations, they can have visual complications. Psychological well-being is also of much significance when dealing with patients and their families. Complex information is given and the processing time is different from that of medical professionals, so more time should be given to formulate thoughts and doubts that will result in less confusion and better understanding. The likelihood of having a psychological impact on psychological symptoms can’t be disregarded. Overall, maintaining a good patient-caregiver relationship is of utmost significance to healthcare professionals for proper disease management as well as positive health outcomes.

So though I was on question 3 as well, I'd like to
place in the discussion the patient portal access along with the
bar-code scanning and clinical alerts like Elsie mentioned in her
PowerPoint. The patient portal would be part of my top three only
because we are in a business that it's main focus is on patient
care and customer service, and of course the bottom line really is
to make money. Here are some benefits to having the patient portals
set up:
Better patient communication - ability for patients to
request appointments, referrals, and prescription refills directly
from the portal increases the efficiency of your clinical staff,
allowing them to keep their focus on assisting you with the
patients who have the most urgent care needs and
questions.
Streamline registration and admin tasks - allow
registration forms to be completed electronically prior to
appointment check-in, keeping front-office work efficient. This
translates into cost savings for the practice and improved care
delivery.
Better patient/physician relationships - ability for
patients to have 24-hour access to connect with their provider by
reviewing patient health information, asking and answering
questions, and reviewing notes.
