I-TRUST: Implementation of Teleophthalmology in Rural Health Systems Study

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetic Retinopathy

In brief

This pragmatic clinical trial is being conducted to test the effectiveness of I-SITE (Implementation for Sustained Impact in Teleophthalmology), an implementation program to sustain increased diabetic eye screening rates using teleophthalmology in rural, multi-payer health systems. Up to 10 rural health systems providing teleophthalmology to 10,000 patients with diabetes and 100 clinical care personnel participating in the I-SITE intervention will be enrolled for up to 48 months.

You may qualify if…

• Health system serves rural patients as defined as those patients living in counties considered rural by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
• Health system has an active clinical teleophthalmology program providing diabetic eye screening in primary care prior to study randomization
• Health system agrees to share de-identified patient data at the requested time intervals

You may not qualify if…

• Health system does not serve a rural patient population
• Health system has a diabetic eye screening rate of greater than 50% (e.g., above the national average) as it may limit the ability to measure improvement from I-SITE
