ʻAʻole makemake nā kānaka a pau e lilo i jack-of-all-trades. ʻOiaʻiʻo, i ke kaiapuni kūʻai aku a me ka mālama ola kino o kēia wā, ʻike pinepine ʻia he pono ke komo i ka pāpale o ka loea. ʻO kēia paha kekahi o nā kumu e hoʻokele nei i nā ECP i kahi au o ka loea.
E like me nā ʻano hana mālama ola kino ʻē aʻe, ke neʻe nei ka optometry i kēia lā i kēia ʻano kūikawā, ka mea a ka poʻe he nui ma ka mākeke e ʻike ai he mea hoʻokaʻawale i ka hana, kahi ala e lawelawe ai i nā mea maʻi ma ke ʻano ākea a me kahi ʻano e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana o ka hoihoi i waena o nā optometrists i ka hana ʻana i ka mālama maka lapaʻau, ʻoiai ua hoʻonui ʻia ka laulā o ka hana.
"ʻO ke ʻano kūikawā pinepine ka hopena o ke kānāwai hoʻokaʻawale ʻeke kālā. I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ke kānāwai hoʻokaʻawale ʻeke kālā, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o kēlā me kēia kanaka/maʻi i kahi kālā a lākou e hoʻolilo ai i kēlā me kēia makahiki no ka mālama ola kino," wahi a Mark Wright, OD, ʻo ia ka mea hoʻoponopono ʻoihana o Review of Optometric Business.
Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "ʻO kahi laʻana maʻamau e hana ʻia ana ma kahi hana no kahi mea maʻi i ʻike ʻia me ka maka maloʻo, ua hāʻawi ʻia lākou i kahi papa inoa ʻimi scavenger: kūʻai i kēia mau kulu maka ma ka hale kūʻai lāʻau lapaʻau, kēia pale maka mai kēia pūnaewele, a pēlā aku. ʻO ka nīnau no kahi hana pehea e hoʻonui ai i ka nui o kēlā kālā e hiki ke hoʻolilo ʻia ma ka hana."
I kēia hihia, ʻo ka mea e noʻonoʻo ai, hiki ke kūʻai ʻia nā kulu maka a me ka pale maka ma ke keʻena lapaʻau ma mua o ka pono o ka mea maʻi e hele i kahi ʻē? i nīnau ai ʻo Wright.
Aia kekahi noʻonoʻo i hāʻawi ʻia e nā OD i kēia lā i ka ʻike ʻana i ka nohona o kēlā me kēia lā o nā maʻi ua loli ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ko lākou mau maka, i hoʻopilikia nui ʻia e ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka manawa pale. ʻO ka hopena, ua pane mai nā optometrists, ʻoiai ka poʻe e ʻike ana i nā maʻi ma kahi hana pilikino, ma ka noʻonoʻo pono ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā ʻoihana kūikawā e hoʻoponopono i nā pono o ka mea maʻi e loli nei a ʻoi aku ka kikoʻī o kēia lā.
ʻO kēia manaʻo, ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ma kahi ʻano nui aʻe, e like me ka ʻōlelo a Wright, he hana maʻamau ia e ʻike ai i kahi maʻi me ka maka maloʻo. Hana lākou i nā mea ʻoi aku ma mua o ka nānā wale ʻana iā lākou a i ʻole e hele hou aku lākou a mālama iā lākou? ʻŌlelo ke kānāwai hoʻokaʻawale ʻeke kālā i ka wā hiki ke mālama lākou iā lākou ma mua o ka hoʻouna ʻana iā lākou i kekahi a i ʻole kahi e hoʻolilo ai lākou i kēlā mau kālā hou a lākou e hoʻolilo ai.
"Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopili i kēia kumumanaʻo i kekahi o nā hana e hāʻawi ana i ka loea," i hoʻohui ai ʻo ia.
Ma mua o ka neʻe ʻana o nā hana i kahi ʻoihana kūikawā, he mea nui e noiʻi a kālailai nā OD i nā ʻano like ʻole e loaʻa ai e hoʻonui i ka hana. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, ʻo kahi maikaʻi loa e hoʻomaka ai ma ke noi ʻana i nā ECP ʻē aʻe i pili mua i ka ʻoihana kūikawā e hiki mai ana. A ʻo kekahi koho ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ke nānā i nā ʻano o ka ʻoihana o kēia manawa, nā demographics o ka mākeke a me nā pahuhopu ʻoihana a me nā ʻoihana kūloko i mea e hoʻoholo ai i kahi kūpono kūpono.
Aia kekahi manaʻo ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka loea kūikawā a ʻo ia ka hana e hana wale ana i ka ʻāpana loea kūikawā. He koho pinepine kēia no nā OD makemake ʻole e hana me nā "maʻi berena-a-pata," wahi a Wright. "Makemake wale lākou e hana me ka poʻe e pono ai ka loea kūikawā. No kēia hana, ma mua o ka nānā ʻana i nā maʻi uku haʻahaʻa he nui e ʻike i nā maʻi e pono ai ka mālama kiʻekiʻe, ʻae lākou i nā hana ʻē aʻe e hana pēlā no lākou. ʻO nā hana loea kūikawā wale nō, inā ua uku pololei lākou i kā lākou huahana, pono e hoʻopuka i kahi loaʻa kālā kiʻekiʻe a me kahi ʻupena kiʻekiʻe ma mua o kahi hana maʻamau ʻoiai e hana wale ana me nā maʻi a lākou e makemake ai.
Akā, ʻo kēia ʻano hana, e hāpai paha i ka pilikia he nui nā hana e hāʻawi ana i kahi kūikawā ʻaʻole e uku kūpono i kā lākou huahana, wahi āna. "ʻO ka hewa maʻamau ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa nui ʻana i kā lākou huahana."
Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi kumu o nā OD ʻōpio e ʻike ʻia ana he makemake nui lākou e hoʻohui i ka manaʻo o kahi ʻoihana kūikawā i kā lākou hana maʻamau, a i ʻole e hana i kahi hana kūikawā piha. He ala kēia i hahai ʻia e kekahi mau kauka maka no nā makahiki he nui. ʻO kēlā mau OD e koho e loea e hana ia mea ma ke ʻano he ala e hoʻokaʻawale ai iā lākou iho a hoʻokaʻawale i kā lākou hana.
Akā, e like me ka ʻike ʻana o kekahi mau OD, ʻaʻole no nā kānaka āpau ka hana kūikawā. "ʻOiai ka hoihoi o ka hana kūikawā, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā OD e noho mau nei he poʻe laulā, me ka manaʻoʻiʻo he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hele ʻana i ka laulā ma mua o ka hohonu," wahi a Wright.
