Improving Glaucoma Patient Compliance Patient compliance may seem like a factor many medical professionals cannot control; however there are steps that physicians can take to improve the level to which a patient follows prescribed treatment. SLT is a cost effective, low side effect treatment for glaucoma patients versus some of the other treatments that can lower patient compliance. The comparison between different glaucoma treatments and patient compliance will be drawn and discussed in this article.
Adding Retina to a Comprehensive Ophthalmology Practice Over the past 25 years, several factors have increased the demand for vitreoretinal subspecialist services: the increasing population of baby-boomers, increasing development of treatment options, improvements in surgical instrumentation and outcomes, and an increasing concern about medicolegal considerations in areas that have other retinal physicians readily available to treat potentially blinding emergencies. This paper discusses the ins and outs of expanding to the posterior segment.
Investing in SLT Looking at both financially and medically, SLT has a high ROI. It cuts costs on medications for patients and possesses long-term efficacy. Purchasing an SLT laser can seem lavish, however there is great potential for financial growth by acquiring this equipment. This article will touch upon how to set up the correct timeline for ROI, and how to work this new equipment into your practice without flaw.
The Benefits of a Multi-wavelength PatternScanLaser The impetus behind adopting new technology is not merely to have the latest and greatest equipment. It is more about being able to practice medicine at the
most advanced level and improving the patient’s experience whenever possible. This article applies that logic to the assessment of the benefits delivered by
the Multi-wavelength PatternScanLaser.

To protect patient health information, hospitals and healthcare organizations need to be sure they are incorporating often overlooked endpoint technologies -- namely, printers -- in their healthcare IT security plans.

Focus on these neglected areas: staffing, business overhead, and payer contracts. Gains made in the areas of staffing, overhead, and payer reimbursements can contribute to more effective recruitment and retention as well as boost financial performance in the long run.

There are 3 types of search. Please only use one option at a time.
1) Build a boolean search string.
Ensure that document matches include...

Information on how to use Search
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
AND example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
OR example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
NOT example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
