Help Increase Compliance with the Diabetic Retinal Exam
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss among adults 20-to-74 years of age,1 affecting 7.7 million Americans.2 Together, we have the power to help prevent diabetic retinopathy as a leading cause of blindness. Discover how—and join us.
95%
of vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy can be prevented with early detection.3
~60%
But diabetic retinal exam compliance is low.4
Up to 90%
compliance is possible with diabetic retinal exams in primary care.5
Help Increase Early Detection of Childhood Vision Disorders
Vision disability is the #1 disabling condition among children.6 Reliable vision screening is crucial to catch issues early and prevent vision loss in young children. Learn how we’re innovating to help make those vision screenings faster and more accurate.
1 in 4
school-aged children have a vision disorder.7
Only 1 in 3
have a vision screening before kindergarten.7
Eye charts
may fail to identify vision problems.8
12 months
So the AAP recommends instrument-based vision screening as early as 12 months of age, if available.9
Expanding Diagnostic Capabilities in Primary Care
As more patients seek care outside the hospital, the role of primary care is changing. Other care settings — such as urgent care facilities and walk-in retail clinics — are also seeing an increase in patient visits.13
Treating more complex patients14 — and working hand in hand with specialists across care settings — means there is a greater need to:
Expand
The diagnostic abilities of office-based clinicians
Connect
information throughout a network of specialists
Document
and share information within the EMR
Improving Cardiology Screening and Diagnosis
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States10—and COPD11 and stroke12 make the top five. Whether in a hospital, a physician office, urgent care facility or retail clinic, an ECG may be the most important thing you do today.
