This article describes the organisation of screening for diabetic retinopathy at The Department of Ophthalmology, Arhus University Hospital, giving a descriptional analysis using Leavitt's organisational model. The employed organisational model is suitable for offering screening examinations for diabetic retinopathy in municipal diabetes teams. The experience gained to date at Arhus University Hospital shows that the severity of retinopathy of examined patients is similar to that found earlier in Danish diabetes clinics, and the frequency of newly diagnosed severe diabetic retinopathy is similar to that of findings from other centres.
