Electronic health record based population health management to optimize care in CKD: Design of the Kidney Coordinated HeAlth Management Partnership (K-CHAMP) trial

Résumé fourni par la source

Primary care physicians (PCPs) provide the majority of medical care to patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD. However, PCPs report numerous limitations to providing expert CKD care, including poor patient education, inadequate diagnostic evaluation, suboptimal use of medications, and time limitations. The Kidney Coordinated HeAlth Management Partnership (Kidney CHAMP) trial is a cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel centralized electronic health records (EHR)-delivered population health management (PHM) strategy for high-risk CKD patients on patient care, safety, and other outcomes of interest to patients, providers, and payors. Over a 42-month period, the trial will compare the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention that combines early identification of high-risk patients, timely nephrology guidance, pharmacist-led medication management services, and CKD patient education to usual care and enroll 1650 high-risk CKD patients from 100 primary care practices. The primary outcome will be ≥40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or end stage kidney disease. Key secondary outcomes will include blood pressure, renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors use, and exposure to potentially unsafe medications. If successful, our treatment approach could improve CKD care delivery and safety, resource allocation, and adoption of evidence-based CKD guideline-concordant care.
