  1. IMPLEMENTATION OF A SCREENING PROGRAM FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY USING A NON-MYDRIATIC CAMERA IN PRIMARY CARE Antoni Peris Carlos Bernades Emilia Bosch Sonia Burgos Susana Vilalta CASAP CAN BOU PISA – August 2010

  2. Primary care services: where are we heading? Cognoms, Nom Cognoms, Nom More efficiency and quality in public health services Higher resolution in primary care Higher autonomy for professionals More accesibility Cognoms, Nom

  3. ConsorciCastelldefelsAgents de Salut CASAP • Public consortia • Local and autonmic governance (ICS – Ajuntament) • Closeness to comunity • Sinergies • Legal independence • Fast managing • Public enterprise • Finance accountability • Public economic auditors

  4. DM2 prevalence is 2-6% Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the 1st cause of blindness in Western populations (70-80% of blindness for patients from 20 to 70) Early diagnosis of DR can stop its development. DiabeticRetinopathy

  5. Fundi in DM2 The guidelines recommend control of Fundi when Diagnosis and thereafter, annual control The coverage in Catalonia is 50% of the population for the service of Ophthalmology, and the controls are every 3-4 years.

  6. Fundi in DM2: CROC Use of non-mydriatic Ophtalmoscopy camera covers 70-100% of needed explorations. This facilitates increasing early detection and proper treatment reducing cases of blindness

  7. What is CROC? Unit dedicated to eye screening of patients with DM2 : Non-mydriaticOphtalmoscopy camera Air Tonometer(rule outhigh IOP) Visual acuity

  8. What we look for in CROC? The papilla Microaneurysms Hemorrhage Exudates (hard and soft ) Neovascularization Others

  9. CROC STRATEGIES Training Professional: • 2 Family doctors in each PC Team • It consists of : • 2 hours Theory session • 20 hours practical Fundi reading with ophtftalmologist • Nurse aid training in other CROC team for 1 month

  10. CROC PATHWAYS • GP or Nurse programs CROC visit • Nurse aid performs CROC • CROC GP avaluate pictures. • Ophtalmologists avaluates situation when in doubt • According to the result patient is followed in CROC or referred to Ophtalmology to avoid delays

  11. Ophtalmologist’ referrals Miosi Cataracts High OIP Moderates NPDR Severes NPDR PDR Photocoagulation

  12. RESOLUTION CROC 2008 Total Visits CROC Castelldefels: 1481

  13. Ophtalmologist’ referrals • CROC avoids appointments of 1037 patients/year from Castelldefels to Ophtalmologist • Referred patients (30% of total CROC patients) have been properly diagnosed by GP

  14. Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) Mild Moderade Severe High IOP Cataract CROC DIAGNOSTICS Total: 368

  15. Discussion Pro’s: • Ophtalmologist waiting lists are reduced • Ophtalmologists visits only disease cases • Primary care shows higher autonomy and resolution capacity. • When severe disease, pacient meets Ophtalmologist before 48 hours.

  16. Discussion Against: • Slight lack of coordination on Ophtalmologists reading results (delay on avaluation both of doubts and disease) • Purchaser is not currently paying PC Teams for CROC activity while it goes on paying hospital as always

  17. Discusion Population screening of diabetic retinopathy using CROC has been effective in considerably increasing photos taken and in new diagnosis of retinopathy, with respect to previous years. The program avoided 1037 visits to the ophthalmology service en one year. The 400 patients that were referred already had a diagnostic orientation.
