Summary: The detection and treatment of retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, can prevent blindness in up to 90% of those affected. OTN’s teleophthalmology program improves rates of access to retinal assessment and follow-up for patients with diabetes. This study will describe the unscreened diabetic population, its resource use and comorbidities. The analyses will inform the Teleophthalmology Advisory Group, host program partners and system planners to implement outreach and adoption activities designed to attract more patients requiring this care.
