Best Practices

  • Document date of most recent diabetic eye exam, with results, name and title of eye care provider in the medical record
  • Order a diabetes screening test every year and build care gap “alerts” in your electronic medical record
  • Follow up with patients to discuss and educate on effects of diabetes
  • Coordinate care with patients' other providers
  • Outreach patients who have not had their eye exams and ask them to schedule one as soon as possible
  • Discuss with member the importance of screening for diabetes
  • Educate the member on symptoms of new-onset diabetes
  • Educate the members about the importance of early detection and encourage screening
  • Request to have any eye exam results sent from the specialty office
  • Set care gap “alerts” in your electronic medical record
  • Prepare standing referral to ophthalmologist, assist patient in making eye specialist appointment and track referral until specialist report is obtained.
  • Conduct chart review to identify evidence of negative retinal eye exam in the year prior to the measurement year. Report previous year negative eye screening with a current calendar year date of services.
