Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of preventable vision loss among working-age adults, yet screening is often missed when it depends on a separate eye-care referral. For FQHCs, automated retinal screening at the point-of-care can help improve screening rates, close diabetes care gaps, support clinic quality and performance metrics, reduce referral leakage, and keep more care connected to the primary care visit. Proactive FQHC provides health centers with funding support, practical resources, and guidance to pilot automated retinal screening in ways that fit their clinic workflows.
