Ocular SIG

Working meeting on Feb 7 will focus on state regulation regarding ocular telehealth, specifically centered on 3 areas:

  • Standards of care
  • Patient-provider relationships
  • Patient record keeping.

Two of our SIG members will be leading the conversation, providing examples of current state regulation and discussing some pending legislation/rulemaking on these topics.

 

The Ocular Telehealth SIG promotes the development and advancement of the use of telemedicine in fields related to ophthalmology, optometry and optical engineering. Ocular Telehealth participants include individuals from academia, industry, government and healthcare with an interest in providing ocular care through telecommunications technology. The Ocular Telehealth SIG focuses on eye and adnexa issues, using the eye as a window to the health status of other related bodily systems.
