Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of preventable blindness. Timely screening and treatment prevent morbidity, though low follow-up rates remain problematic. Feasible and efficacious methods for increasing screening follow-up rates include patient education, a streamlined referral and scheduling process, and collaboration with local ophthalmologists and primary care providers. ©2017 by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine and The Duke Endowment.
