Why Diabetic Retinopathy screenings
Most missed diabetic eye exams are access problems, not clinical disagreement — patients do not schedule or keep separate ophthalmology visits.
Primary care can improve HEDIS Diabetes Eye Exam (EED) and Medicare Star performance by:
- Screening during the diabetes visit already on the calendar
- Using in-office retinal imaging with remote specialist read
- Documenting completed screenings in structured, reportable format
- Identifying overdue patients from panel reports and closing gaps proactively
CarePlus supports this in-clinic screening and reporting workflow.
