Implementation of problem-oriented records improves quality of care in an optometric teaching clinic, indicating better communication and logical thinking.
Problem‐oriented records, performance audit, and a clinical index were implemented in the eye‐care service of the Dorchester House Multi‐Service Center, a neighborhood health center and teaching affiliate of the New England College of Optometry. We found that problem‐oriented records facilitate communication and encourage logical thinking, that audit helps assure the quality of care and teaching, and that a clinical index provides a perspective on the overall performance of the eye‐care service.
