The system sufficiently diagnosed nonproliferative disease using ultra widefield color fundus images.

In a 2006 meta-analysis published in JAMA investigating the impact of strategic quality improvement on glycemic control among adults with type 2 diabetes, researchers found that the use of multidisciplinary care teams, shared care between primary care physicians and specialists, and effective case management led to reductions in HbA1c by at least 0.5%.3 Additional positive outcomes of care team management include increased patient satisfaction, improved quality of life, fewer hospitalizations, decreased health care costs, and lower risks for diabetes complications.1
