Request Summary: Services for Visually Impaired Patients

Request Category: Health



 
Question Number 1:
I am planning a Quality Improvement Project titled “Provision of Post-Operative Instructions in Braille Format for Visually Impaired Patients”.

As part of this project, I would greatly appreciate your guidance and support in understanding:

 Ă Ă Ă1. Ă ĂThe services currently provided to visually impaired patients across all departments in the hospital.

 Ă
 
Answer To Question 1:
Unable to answer as question too broad. Asked Requestor to confirm if it was specifically Braille information provided for Post-Op Instructions, but did not receive an answer so unable to complete.
 
Question Number 2:
 Ă Ă2. Ă ĂThe approximate number of visually impaired patients attending the hospital.
 
Answer To Question 2:
Please see our response in the spreadsheet attached.
