Edmonds, OD, FAAO </p> <div class="blog-intro"> <p>I have been a careful student of the new models for the delivery of primary health care. Most of us are familiar with the patient-centered medical home, but there are other models known as accountable care organizations. These groups are made up of physicians, hospitals and other health care providers that come together on a voluntary basis to provide coordinated health care for Medicare or Medicaid patients.

Edmonds, OD, FAAO </p> <div class="blog-intro"> <p>Many of my family members are health care providers. Seven, soon to be eight, are optometrists, but there are also a few physicians and a new speech pathologist in the fold. As you can imagine, dinner table discussions often center around health care issues. With the recent Thanksgiving family holiday, a number of issues were discussed that are worth noting.

The cataract surgeon gave a nice talk on the team of a patient’s primary optometrist and the surgeon. The strong communication between the team members facilitates the very best outcomes for visual recovery.

There are many types of networks, and optometrists need a better understanding of how they work and which are the best to support them for the future of their practice.

Edmonds, OD, FAAO </p> <div class="blog-intro"> <p>A large aspect of health care reform is related to transportable medical information for each citizen.
