Community Health Center Increases Access to Diabetic Retinal Exams

Richard Albrecht with quote "Teleretinal screening is fully aligned with transforming our practices to value-based care and enables our patients to get another important healthcare service without having to go elsewhere"

As the Executive Director, Telehealth Network, for seven Community Health Centers that are part of Community Health Network of Connecticut Holdings, Inc. (CHNCTH), Richard Albrecht focuses on developing and executing a telemedicine roadmap. The need for a teleretinal program was based on the challenging HEDIS scores the Centers were experiencing for diabetic annual eye exams.
