Addressing Low Patient Follow-up Rates Among Patients With Diabetes in the Eye Clinic at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
The study will evaluate whether videos can improve understanding of diabetic eye disease, and follow-up rates in the eye clinic.
Description
Health literacy is a prevalent issue at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, particularly at the eye clinic where understanding of diagnoses and treatment plans largely affect vision outcomes. This study will determine whether video-based explanations, created in both English and Spanish, of diabetic retinopathy can improve knowledge concordance and follow up rates among patients in the eye clinic. Knowledge concordance and patient satisfaction will be assessed through digital surveys in Qualtrics.
