SUN-233 The state of CKD care in Canadian primary care: a retrospective analysis of a national database

Abstract

evaluation of the usability, practicality and convenience of this new innovative approach to CKD care. Evaluations would include the impact on patient experience and satisfaction, the assessment of such outcomes as the reduction in the number of (unnecessary) referrals to Nephrology Clinics, any healthcare cost savings and overall efficacy of this new system of IT-based CKD care paradigm. Results: Awaited. Conclusions: We posit that it is time for a disruption of current CKD care paradigms with this innovative system. It is our hypothesis that this proof of concept study will demonstrate The CKD Express Ó Program as an effective, efficient, convenient, and cost-saving new paradigm of CKD care.
