PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) Immersive Simulation Experience allows learners to engage in clinical decision-making targeting diagnosis and therapeutic approaches in RVO management. By participating in this simulated 3D encounter, you will observe patient-provider interactions and use pertinent information from the patients’ electronic chart to decide the next best course of action at various key points in care. Highlighted areas for this activity include assessment of RVO classification, risk factor modification, interventions based on RVO classification, as well as the recognition and management of treatment-related adverse events.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of retina specialists, ophthalmologists, primary care providers, optometrists, and other healthcare providers who manage patients with retinal vein occlusion.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Communicate the importance of proper eye care and early intervention in preventing progressive visual changes in patients with or at risk for RVO
- Incorporate collaborative strategies into clinical practice that promote team-based communication, maintain continuity of care, and improve treatment adherence for patients with or who are at risk for RVO
- Identify pathogenic changes in RVO that would be best managed with a multidisciplinary approach
- Evaluate clinical trial data on the efficacy and safety of currently available treatment options for the management of RVO
