Retinopathy of prematurity: understanding and managing the risks of remote retinal imaging
1American Society for Healthcare Risk Management, USA.
Abstract:
Remote imaging improves access to care and decreases the necessity for on-site evaluation by an ophthalmologist. Currently, established criteria do not exist delineating when the use of retinal photography and telemedicine is appropriate, rather than a dilated indirect ophthalmoscopic examination. This article will discuss the risk management strategies that practitioners and healthcare organizations should employ to protect both themselves and patients before adopting this technology.
