DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The project, "Creating an Evidence Base for Vision Rehabilitation," will involve the implementation of the newly developed Electronic Vision Rehabilitation Record (EVRR). The lead agency on this project, Lighthouse International, built this software and the model upon which it is based. The project will involve the installation and implementation of EVRR at Lighthouse International, The Iris Network in Maine, and the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI) in Utica, New York. The project will also involve the installation of EVRR modules at three offices of the New York State Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped (CBVH) and three ophthalmologists' private offices or primary eye-care services within hospitals. The implementation of EVRR and its tools will assure that patients receive consistent, high-quality, standardized care thereby delaying the functional decline that has been associated with increased utilization of health services. Over a relatively short period of time, the system will create a large outcome-measures database by which to evaluate the effectiveness of current best practice and help refine practice as the evidence indicates.

描述(申请人提供)：“建立视力康复证据库”项目将涉及新开发的电子视力康复记录(EVRR)的实施。这个项目的牵头机构，灯塔国际，建立了这个软件和它所基于的模型。该项目将涉及在国际灯塔、缅因州的虹膜网络和纽约尤蒂卡的盲人和视障人士中央协会(CABVI)安装和实施EVRR。该项目还将涉及在纽约州盲人和视障人士委员会(CBVH)的三个办事处和医院内的三个眼科医生私人办公室或初级眼科保健服务安装EVRR模块。 EVRR及其工具的实施将确保患者得到一致、高质量、标准化的护理，从而延缓因卫生服务利用率增加而导致的功能衰退。在相对较短的时间内，该系统将创建一个大型成果衡量数据库，用以评估当前最佳做法的有效性，并帮助改进证据所表明的做法。
