Implementation and evaluation of an optometry-led satellite outpatient clinic for patients with diabetes
The model demonstrated that a primary-tertiary care partnership can maintain high standards while improving service efficiency. A collaborative model with reduced dependence on direct ophthalmology oversight can deliver quality care, improve timely access and follow-up for patients with diabetes, with good patient satisfaction.
