Topic: To evaluate the efficacy of currently available digital and remote care applications for postoperative cataract management compared to traditional methods for postoperative clinical measurements.
Clinical Relevance: With the increasing demand for ophthalmological services and an anticipated shortage of professionals, innovative approaches are needed to optimize care. Cataract surgery, characterized by its high safety profile and turnover rate, is well-suited for digital and remote care solutions, which could enhance the postoperative patient pathway, potentially leading to substantial time and cost savings.

The purpose of this three-part, mixed-methods study is to mitigate patient risk by understanding and describing the current and future state of pediatric telehealth (TH) care delivery. As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, an unprepared clinical workforce mobilized to quickly transition patients to TH to mitigate the risk of infection and maintain access to care. Optimizing digital health care delivery requires an understanding of the current models of care, the identification of best practices, and opportunities for improvement to mitigate patient/family, provider, and institutional risk.
