Integrating Tele-Retinal Scans into Primary Care Visits Using an MA-Supported Quality Improvement Approach at a Community Health Center.

Primary care visits represent opportunities to engage patients in diabetic retinopathy screening through point-of-care retinal imaging. Using tele-retinal screening supported by a medical assistant-clinician dyad in a large urban community health center, we increased diabetic eye examination completion from 49% to 59% over six months, demonstrating feasibility in primary care.
