Pilot Study of Health Information Technology for Chronic Kidney Disease Management

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Kidney Disease

In brief

Researchers now know that treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in its early stages can prevent dialysis and reduce heart problems that go along with kidney disease. Computerized tools may help primary care doctors to diagnose the disease earlier and computer reminders may help doctors to prescribe the best treatments. In this project the investigators will test computer reminders in primary care clinics to see if they improve treatment of early chronic kidney disease and to see if it can promote referral to nephrology.
