Target Audience and Goal Statement

Physicians, Pharmacists, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses

The overarching purpose of this program is to learn from primary care and nephrology presenters about the importance of increasing collaboration among generalists, specialists, and patients to improve chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcomes and health equity using population health principles. This program provides key considerations, resources, and conversation starters for learners to take back to their institution. This information can inform their practice when determining clear guidance, policies, and workflows for appropriately managing referrals and delineating roles and expectations across all disciplines involved along the continuum of CKD care.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify opportunities to optimize management of advancing CKD
  2. Articulate barriers that contribute to inequities in kidney care and hinder effective co-management of CKD
  3. Describe overarching care modifications that can improve CKD population health
