Teleophthalmology Assessment of Diabetic Retinopathy

Ingrid E. Zimmer-Galler

Implementation of telemedicine systems for diabetic retinopathy surveillance has the potential to significantly increase access to appropriate retinal care. The Telehealth Practice Recommendations for Diabetic Retinopathy provide guidelines for the design and implementation of a diabetic retinopathy telemedicine care program, and form the basis for evaluation of diabetic retinopathy telehealth techniques and technologies. Future studies are still needed to evaluate outcome data to assess the effectiveness or limitations in providing quality eye care with teleophthalmology.

Digital Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy — Screening From an American Perspective

Lawrence M. Merin

For many health care consumers, on-demand screening in the primary care clinic saves weeks or months of waiting for an appointment at an eye care facility for a traditional physician-provided dilated eye examination; indeed, for some, digital imaging is their first experience obtaining ophthalmic health care. For those patients found to have vision-threatening disease, digital screening brings them one step closer to obtaining the expert ophthalmic treatment they require to preserve their vision and to remain productive members of society. We believe that every patient screening encounter represents an improvement in health care delivery. Each screening can overcome racial, ethnic and economic disparities. Each contributes to equity of care. Each is a victory over apathy, ignorance, and lack of access to high quality health care — barriers that far too often lead to blindness for people with diabetes.

Visual Rehabilitation Consultations through Telemedicine

Jade S. Schiffman; Gina G. Wong; Rosa A. Tang; Randy T. Jose

Telemedicine can be beneficial in providing excellent low vision care. Ideally, other specialists could be consulted via telemedicine in the rural hospital to increase the viability of telemedicine. A dedicated telemedicine presenter-coordinator would have been helpful. The grant did not provide funding for personnel involved with the telemedicine project, so the remote site presenter and consultants had normal duties with the additional burden of telemedicine activities. This model has the potential to be self-sustaining. In addition to reimbursement for the telemedicine consultant services, there would be income from visual aids purchased by the patients.

Teleophthalmology as a Service Delivery Model — An Experience from a Developing Country

R. Kim; R. D. Thulasiraj; K. M. Sasipriya; R. Vasantha Kumar

In view of a developing country’s immense need to deliver quality eye care service, teleophthalmology clearly emerges as an alternate service delivery model, that will ensure accessibility to quality eye care for rural and remote populations. To ensure the successful adaptation of this technology, sustainable and affordable models should be developed. The immediate challenges of costs, security and protocols should be addressed by policy makers to ensure effective adaptability of the technology.
