Dear U.S. NANOS members,
I am working on building a national Telehealth program for neuro-ophthalmology at the VA, and the national program directors are demanding a count of who is already working at VA's and where and how much FTE or contract time is being spent on it. I don't have time or board approval to do a formal survey yet, but for now, I would greatly appreciate your contacting me privately at
Kim.winges@gmail.com with the following:
1. Your name
2. Your VA email address if used, or preferred email
3. VA location(s) and VISN
4. Amount of FTE, time, or 8ths spent seeing neuro-ophthalmology patients.
5. This does NOT Apply to time spent seeing patients in their practices through Community Care referrals outside VA.
Thank you VERY MUCH!
Kim
