Which glaucoma patients should be monitored at home and exploration of clinician perceptions on home monitoring? a survey of glaucoma specialists in the UK.

Objectives: To identify suitable patients for glaucoma home monitoring and explore clinicians' perceptions of the possible benefits and risks of home monitoring within the National Health Service.

Design: An online survey composed of open-ended and closed-ended questions.

Setting: Secondary care.

Feasibility of in-home monitoring for people with glaucoma: the I-TRAC mixed-methods study.

Background: Glaucoma is a chronic disease of the optic nerve and a leading cause of severe visual loss in the UK. Once patients have been diagnosed, they need regular monitoring at hospital eye services. Recent advances in technology mean patients with glaucoma can now monitor their disease at home.

Supporting choice: an innovative model of integrated palliative care funded by a private health insurer.

Background: The number of Australians dying each year is predicted to double in the next 25 years and there is an urgent need to establish sustainable models for providing high quality end-of-life care. An innovative community care model (Bupa Palliative Care Choices Program or BPCCP) was developed and piloted with the purpose of supporting patients in achieving their choices surrounding end-of-life care.

Aims: This study evaluates whether BPCCP patients were more likely to die in their place of choice compared with patients receiving standard care.
