Subject: [MCOH-EH] vision testing
Good morning group- We have traditionally only vision/color blind tested our employees working with lasers. More questions are arising in my organization, that I hope you can help me answer.
Our house wide computerized charting has red and green flag alerts, any thoughts on color blind testing all populations using EMRs?
Thanks,
