Aging Q3 3 Quality Education Aging Quality of Life Quality Care Characteristics of the 21st Century Health Care System • • • • • • Safe Effective Patient-centered Timely Equitable Efficient Aging Q3 Quality Education Quality education is focused on learners attaining specific evidencebased knowledge and skills about health care for older adults, and establishing a positive attitude toward aging and health care for the elderly. 3 Q Aging Quality Care Quality care is focused on translating knowledge, skills and attitudinal changes into practice, using effective quality improvement implementation strategies. Aging Q3 Quality of Life Quality of life seeks to demonstrate improved care outcomes, such as maximized cognitive and functional status, reduced prevalence of aging associated syndromes, and compassionate end of life care.

B. Applegate, S. T. Miller, J. T. Elam, J. M. Freeman, T. O. Wood and T. C. Gettlefinger We conducted a prospective study of 293 elderly patients undergoing cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation to determine the impact of the surgery on vision and on subjective and objective measures of patient function. Visual acuity in the surgical eye improved from a mean of 20/100 before surgery to 20/40 four months after surgery; improvement was maintained at one year. Positive changes occurred in some subjective measures of patient function, such as reported activities of daily living and patient report of vision-dependent activities, but these changes were modest. The most marked changes in patient function occurred in objective measures of function. Mental status had improved not quite significantly at four months but significantly at one year. Timed manual performance improved dramatically and significantly at four months and one year. Cataract surgery was associated with improved vision and improved objective function in most patients by four months after surgery, and these improvements were maintained at one year. Retinal Changes Young Adult Older Adult Macular Degeneration Leading Cause of Blindness in the United Leading causes of blindness in Western societies Age-related macular degeneration • (aka: AMD, ARM, SMD) • Dry versus Wet • Atrophic versus Exudative (CNVM) • Most common cause of blindness • Majority of cases are “dry” form (>80%), however 88% of those registered as legally blind (in Germany) from AMD had exudative disease.

Glaucoma • Second Leading Cause of Blindness in the US • “Silent” • Increased Intraocular pressure (IOP) • Screen every 2 years after Age 50 • Treatment • Topical Medications • Surgery • Oral agents Glaucoma: Increased Cupping of the Optic Disc Normal Abnormal Circulation of the Aqueous Humor. This anterior segment of the eye shows the circulation of the aqueous humor from the ciliary body through the pupil into the anterior chamber. The aqueous humor then passes through the trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal and travels from there into the episcleral venous system. A smaller amount of aqueous humor leaves the eye through the face of the ciliary body, just below the trabecular meshwork.
