Study Summary
The investigators aim to investigate the impact of mandating on-site pre-admission testing on cataract cancellation rates in a randomized, prospective, intervention study. Cataract extraction is the most commonly performed ocular surgery making surgical training an integral component of ophthalmology residency. Patient cancellation of surgery results in a financial burden to the institution and a loss of essential educational experiences for the residents. An earlier study explored variables impacting cancellation rates and identified incomplete pre-admission testing as a major contributing factor to surgery cancellation. Patients will be randomized to either 1) the intervention group where on-site pre-admission testing will be mandated or 2) the control group, where on-site pre-admission testing will be offered but not mandated. Cancellation rates will be collected prospectively and statistical analysis utilized to evaluate the significance of intervention.
