Project Open - Use of Administrative Health Data to Increase Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Guiding Primary Care Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in Canada Through the Use of Provincial Healthcare Administrative Data

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Early detection through regular diabetic retinopathy screening (DRS) is an effective method of preventing vision loss by enabling earlier intervention and timely treatment. It is recommended that all people with diabetes receive regular DRS, either annually or bi-annually. Current DRS practice in Canada, however, falls remarkably short of recommended DRS rates resulting in preventable vision loss. In this project the investigators use population health-based approach to diabetes care. Linked provincial administrative data will be leveraged to consistently identify all those that have not had DRS in 425 days with the goal to improve outcomes, equity and potentially reduce the cost of care delivery.
