Diabetic Macular Edema and Diabetic Retinopathy Identification by Screening (Telemed) With Verified Automated Retinal Photography
The purpose of this study is explore if a partnership and screening program put in place
between a busy retina practice and their referring diabetes care offices can improve
diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema diagnosis, care and overall diabetes control
in patients with diabetic eye disease.

Retina Institute of Hawaii will place an infrastructure to screen for diabetic
retinopathy/diabetic macular edema in 5 of the states largest Primary Care Clinics, General
Medical and or Endocrine practices which re our primary referrals for diabetes patients.
Each Sub-site will receive a DRS Automated Retinal Camera and our staff will train the
sub-site's staff on taking images. The submission of these images to our practice will be
administered by an automated job scheduler in the DRS Automated Retinal Camera removing the
requirement of the locations to send images. Images will be electronically uploaded and sent
to the Retina Institute of Hawaii for detailed interpretation and report sent back to the
patients, their diabetes care MD's and their nurse practitioners/diabetic educators.
