The complexity of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), coupled with poorly designed healthcare delivery systems, has made it difficult for clinicians to provide high-quality care for patients with this syndrome on a consistent basis and has resulted in a healthcare system building unnecessary costs, inappropriate practice variation, and suboptimal care.
Often unrecognized PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) can cause many physical and emotional manifestations and for the up to 10% of women and girls with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Worldwide, it is estimated less than half know what it is or that they have it. Therefore, the PCOS Community is charged with identifying strategies for achieving substantial improvement in the quality of health care and education for all patients living with the syndrome.
Organizations such as PCOS Awareness Association, (PCOSAA) must keep up with the current demands for information by supporting an organizational structure and programs capable of handling and satisfying the mass inquiries received and the need for reliable resources for consumers.
PCOSAA has been responding to these inadequacies with an emphasis on PCOS related research and the needs of educational instruction, clinical teaching, and delivery of education via distance learning, support services and use of educational technology.
Although there have been various resources available with regards to PCOS and PCOS support, none of these resources have been able to bridge the gaps between patients and healthcare providers, often leaving the patient at a loss trying to comprehend the mountains of data about the syndrome, without the tools to implement this information in to their healthcare.
By using technology, support and volunteerism, PCOSAA will be able to provide comprehensive and accessible resources about PCOS for all who seek it and will lower the cost of healthcare for providers, as an initial diagnosis of PCOS and treatment options will save millions of dollars in the treatment of this syndrome!
An interview with founder of PCOSAA, Megan Domino will be available on this blog shortly!
