Health planning and resources development: an opportunity for optometry.

The American Optometric Association views the goal of the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974, as the promotion of physical, emotional and environmental health for all. The National Health Planning and Resources Development Act will work towards this goal by identifying problems, preparing reports and studies and developing recommendations for implementation directed toward solving the problems. These functions will be carried out in collaboration with private and governmental individuals and organizations concerned with health care services. Only through this coordinated effort will success be achieved.

The challenge: PSRO and optometry.

Professional Standards Review Organizations (PSRO) will be reviewing services rendered under Medicare/Medicaid and Maternal and Child Health. The United States has been divided into 203 PSRO areas. In states with three or more PSROs, a statewide Professional Standards Review Council will be set up. A national Professional Standards Review Council advises the Secretary of HEW and Congress on the progress of the PSRO program. Norms, criteria and standards will be used in the PSRO review process. It is hoped that the PSRO system will be able to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of health care being paid for by the Federal government.
