Clinical pharmacy services have the potential to contribute significantly to the multidisciplinary team by providing safe, effective, and economic care for patients. Given recent practice developments (e.g. polypharmacy reviews and pharmacist prescribing), there is a need to provide a current synthesis of evidence-based characteristics and outcomes of clinical pharmacy practice in treating patients with chronic […]

This presentation will define Measurement-Based Care (MBC) and explore its utility in kidney care, including its process, benefits, and challenges. Furthermore, the importance of Patient-Centered Care (PCC) and Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) as it relates to improved patient outcomes and quality metrics will be discussed.

Population health provides an opportunity for health care systems, agencies, and organizations to work together in order to improve the health outcomes of the communities they serve. Some definitions of population health emphasize outcomes, some focus on measurement, and others emphasize accountability. Chronic kidney disease in the United States places a high burden upon society and health systems. Given its uneven distribution across populations and that the disease is largely preventable, chronic kidney disease is an important focus for population health. Drs Mary Reich Cooper, Tara McKinley, and Joseph Cirrincione will discuss population health with a focus on chronic kidney disease.
