Could a hand-held, visual electrophysiology device theoretically reduce diagnostic waiting times for complex eye conditions in the NHS? A Discrete Event Simulation (DES) modelling... by Steffen Bayer, Daniel Garillo, Marion Penn, Maria Chorozoglou, Sally Brailsford, Eloise Keeling, Fatima Shawkat, Perry Carter, Helena Lee, Jay E. Self

“…Future studies are needed to assess its sensitivity/specificity, test/retest variability, changes in referral patterns due to the device, useability, acceptability to patients and importantly, the consequences of screening errors. Our work, using only retrospective data and a DES model, shows that using the device as an ERG screening tool warrants further investigation due to the potential impact on both patients and clinical services.…”
