Comprehensive Kidney Care
DaVita IKC provides an infrastructure that enables nephrologists to comprehensively meet the holistic health care needs of their kidney patients, including those related to comorbid conditions.
Improving Outcomes for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
We believe that together nephrologists and DaVita can improve outcomes for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. For more information, read about our comprehensive CKD programs here. Our goals include:
Lower the rate of unplanned dialysis starts.
Reduce avoidable hospitalizations.
Educate all patients on kidney disease.
Providing Relevant, Useful Tools and Resources
We aim to solve these challenges with unplanned starts by providing physicians with actionable data analytics to enable them to focus on the highest-risk patients and increase clinical impact.
Education
Accessible patient education can support patients in making modality choices, including home and transplant and improve outcomes. You can trust these resources, which cover a wide range of topics and are offered in multiple formats.
Actionable Data
Actionable data indicating patients’ transition and hospitalization risks can allow you to more effectively and efficiently address your patients’ needs. Our predictive models—built on decades-worth of CKD data—provide this data and can improve clinical outcomes.
Personalized Care
Support from well-trained care teams can help nephrologists provide quality care with greater ease. Our care teams are experts in comorbidity management, modality choice, transplant referral and access planning.
