Case Study: Leading Provider Of Nhs-Funded Ophthalmology Services achieves 20% cost savings and 88% ophthalmologist time savings with Lumeon

Facilitating optometrist-led triage and standardized recall in glaucoma pathways

Leading Provider Of Nhs-Funded Ophthalmology Services needed a way to deliver accessible, mobile glaucoma screening via remote vans while shortening appointment times, reducing waiting lists, and enabling optometrist-led triage with standardized recall. Lumeon provided a digital screening and recall pathway to streamline referrals, pre-appointment data collection and coordination between optometrists and off-site ophthalmologists.

By implementing Lumeon’s pathway, care teams are notified of new referrals, patient data is collected in advance via e-forms or calls, optometrist diaries are coordinated, ophthalmologists can quickly approve assessments, high-risk patients are auto-referred for priority treatment, and medium/low-risk patients are put on automated recall. The solution consolidated four hours of separate appointments into one, delivered an 88% time saving for ophthalmologists and achieved a 20% cost saving per patient.
