Implementation and sustainment of a statewide telemedicine diabetic retinopathy screening network for federally designated safety-net clinics

摘要

Context Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of incident blindness among working-age adults in the United States. Federally designated safety-net clinics (FDSC) often serve as point-of-contact for patients least likely to receive recommended DR screenings, creating opportunity for targeted interventions to increase screening access and compliance.
