Preliminary assessment of a standardized vision screening guideline in a pediatric inpatient rehabilitation unit
CONCLUSION: Implementation of a standardized vision screen guideline improved the frequency of vision screens during occupational therapy evaluations in a pediatric inpatient rehabilitation unit. The use of standardized assessments may also improve the quality of vision screens by encouraging staff to complete more comprehensive vision screens, including screening more visual skills, and by prompting use of standardized assessments, which can improve accuracy of screening procedures.PMID:38143397 | DOI:10.3233/PRM-220137 (Source: Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine)
