Diabetes Eye Disease Screening Recommendations (Multimedia tools)
FY 2017-18
Summary
Most patients with diabetes will develop eye disease. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness in working people. Early screening is necessary to prevent visual loss, but nearly 60% of diabetic patients are not getting adequately screened. This project will develop an online animation and module aimed at teaching medical students and healthcare workers appropriate screening guidelines for diabetic patients. It will be disseminated by MEDSKL - an online platform used in most Canadian schools and Optocase - an online platform for eye doctors.
