Ophthalmology
Complete more eye screening and triage where care happens.
Powered by FabrixMed
Close diabetic eye exam gaps, support urgent eye triage, and route structured cases to ophthalmology specialists through the workflow that fits the clinical program.
For healthcare organizations
Launch HEDIS-aligned screening and reduce eye-related transfers.
For independent specialist groups
Interpretation volume and virtual triage beyond clinic geography.
The specialty door
Bring this specialty closer to the teams that need it.
The care organization has the patient and the question. An independent specialist group brings the expertise. FabrixMed helps both sides use a configured workflow that keeps the request, review, documented next step, and ownership visible.
Primary care, emergency, urgent care, post-acute, and hospital teams often need ophthalmology input before an in-person appointment or transfer is available. FabrixMed supports a separate CareScreen screening lane and a ConsultBridge provider-to-specialist lane so screening programs and clinical consults remain distinct.
Why Ophthalmology Access Breaks Down
Ophthalmology decisions often need specialist judgment, but that expertise is not always available where the patient presents.
- Diabetic retinal exam gaps persist across ambulatory populations.
- ED and urgent care teams may lack timely eye specialty input.
- Retinal imaging programs may lack interpretation capacity.
- Incomplete histories and unstructured images can delay triage and follow-up.
The missing layer is a structured way to ask the right question, capture the right context and images, route the case, and document the next step.
Product Lanes for Ophthalmology
CareScreen
CareScreen supports screening, capture, asynchronous review, and documented results when an organization is closing diabetic eye-care gaps or monitoring a defined patient panel. It remains a separate preventive screening workflow.
ConsultBridge
ConsultBridge supports provider-to-specialist consult routing when the treating team needs ophthalmology input for a specific clinical question. Depending on the case and contracted coverage, the workflow may be synchronous, time-sensitive or SLA-bound, or asynchronous. FabrixMed can support:
- Diabetic retinal screening programs with point-of-care capture and remote interpretation in the configured screening lane.
- ED and urgent care eye triage for selected trauma, red-eye, and vision-change questions.
- Post-acute and mobile capture workflows with specialist follow-up.
- Documented return-to-referrer guidance for treatment, follow-up, escalation, or transfer decisions.
Ophthalmology Workflow
The treating team identifies a screening need or clinical eye question.
Relevant symptoms, history, examination findings, and images are captured at the point of care.
The case is routed through the configured CareScreen or ConsultBridge workflow.
A contracted ophthalmology specialist interprets or reviews the case according to the agreed service level.
Results or recommendations return to the local team for follow-up, escalation, referral, or transfer.
What Teams Can Send or Capture
- Eye images or screening results.
- Visual symptoms, severity, and onset.
- Diabetes or vascular risk context.
- Examination findings when available.
- Prior eye history and treatment.
- A specific screening, triage, referral, or escalation question.
Example Workflows
Primary Care or FQHC Ophthalmology Question
The primary care or FQHC team captures the required screening data or submits a focused ophthalmology question. The configured screening or consult workflow routes the case for specialist interpretation or review and returns documented results for the local team to act on.
Emergency Department Ophthalmology Question
The emergency department team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available images for eye triage when the program supports that service level. Synchronous or time-sensitive review is used only under the agreed coverage model, and emergency evaluation remains the responsibility of the local clinical team.
Post-Acute or Mobile Ophthalmology Workflow
The facility or mobile team captures screening data or submits a clinical question through the configured workflow. Specialist results or recommendations return to the local team for follow-up, referral, escalation, or transfer decisions.
Value for Organizations
Deploy structured ophthalmology workflows that bring specialist judgment closer to the point of care, with documentation, routing rules, and measurable service-level performance.
Value for Ophthalmology Provider Groups
FabrixMed can route facility-based consult and interpretation volume to independent ophthalmology groups that contract directly with participating organizations.
Safety Boundary
FabrixMed supports capture, routing, documentation, specialist review, and care coordination for ophthalmology. It does not replace emergency evaluation, bedside assessment, facility protocols, credentialing, prescribing responsibility, or the treating clinician's judgment. Urgent or time-sensitive review is available only when explicitly staffed and agreed in the clinical program.
