- W4247138659 abstract "Summary Over recent years the British Government has pursued a policy encouraging the integration of primary and secondary health care. This drive to promote the efficient delivery of primary care at local centres has seen the forging of co‐operative alliances between various healthcare practitioners. A notable development has been the growth of optometric practice‐based schemes for monitoring the eyecare of diabetic patients. This paper reports on the first twelve months operation (April 1995–March 1996, inclusive) of such a ‘collaborative care’ scheme operating in the Kettering Health Area of Northamptonshire. With the co‐operation of their general medical practitioner (GMP) and under the case‐review of the hospital‐based specialist, diabetic patients attended participating optometric practices for an annual sight test and eye examination including mandatory fundus assessment under mydriasis. A brief ‘ticked menu’ report was subsequently forwarded to the patient's GMP for filing or action as necessary. A copy was also sent to the hospital clinic to enable updating of the diabetic patient database and for the authorisation of the supplementary fee payable to the examining optometrist. An audit of the first year of operation has indicated that those 92% of optometrists in the locality who participated in the programme logged 34% of the projected diabetic population of the Kettering Health Area. Of these individuals, 10.8% were identified as requiring referral for ophthalmological assessment, including 0.7% who needed urgent intervention. Approximately 80% of the referrals were assessed in the Ophthalmology Clinic within the twelve month timeframe of this first year audit; one‐third of these patients received treatment and/or a second review over this period, the net outcome being that one‐half of the original referrals were returned to the programme for continued routine annual screening. The scheme has received a funding allocation for a further financial year, with the possibility of its extension county‐wide being kept under review." @default.
