Abstract

For pediatric ophthalmology, triage, staffing, examinations and treatment are greatly influenced by diagnosis. HMO and “gatekeepers” rely on authorizations/referrals to schedule the patients. This is under the auspices of not only providing a cost saving mechanism but allowing a more appropriate triage of care. Previous studies have shown difficulties with triage. This study investigated if authorization/referral diagnosis are acceptable for triage and care.
