Fundus Photography Screening Services for Primary Care Physicians and Other Healthcare Providers
What We Do:
Many people believe that telemedicine is used only to provide healthcare services to remote or underserved communities. In fact, telemedicine is rapidly being adopted throughout the nation's healthcare provider system as an effective and efficient way to lower costs and provide better service to ALL patients. In addition, some corporations have discovered that ophthalmic telemedicine services can be effective in lowering healthcare costs, maintaining high quality in production and manufacturing, and avoiding unnecessary time away from the workplace by their employees. This is particularly true for companies that deal with off-shore services or who have employees located outside of the United States.
CLEVER Eye Institute, in partnership with EyeCare 20/20, a multi-specialty ophthalmology practice, provides ophthalmic telemedicine services to primary care physicians and other heathcare providers who understand the added value of providing annual ocular disease screening services to their patients. It is often the case that patients with good vision for much of their life have never been screened for eye diseases associated with advancing age or with other systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. In such cases, primary care physicians can facilitate the ocular disease screening of these patients via a telemedicine portal to an eye care provider. This not only generates significant savings in time and money for the patient, it also allows more efficient triaging of those patients who need immediate attention by an ophthalmologist.
