[Clinicians] Accuracy of Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy Using Single-Image Retinal Photography

[Shannon Kolman]

Good Morning CHAMPS Clinicians' Listserv Members,

 

Attached is an article, Accuracy of Primary Care Clinicians in Screening
for Diabetic Retinopathy Using Single-Image Retinal Photography, by T.
Farley, N Mandava, R.R. Prall, and C. Carsky.  Dr. Farley is a physician
working at a Region VIII CHC; the Salud Family Health Center in Fort
Lupton, Colorado.

 

The authors evaluated a diabetic retinopathy screening program in a CHC
using single images taken with a nonmydriatic retinal camera and primary
care clinicians trained to read retinal images.

 

Happy reading!
