Interventions to Improve Blood Pressure Control Among Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Patients With CKD: Kidney Awareness Registry and Education Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Sustainable interventions that enhance chronic kidney disease (CKD) management are not often studied in safety-net primary care, in which populations bear a disproportionate burden of disease and experience translational gaps between research and practice. We tested the feasibility of implementing and the impact of 2 technology-enhanced interventions designed to enhance CKD care delivery.

Study design

A 2×2 randomized controlled pilot trial.

Setting & participants

Primary care provider teams (n = 6) and 137 patients with CKD aged 18 to 75 years from 2 safety-net primary care clinics, 2013 to 2015.

Interventions

Primary care provider teams were randomly assigned to access a CKD registry with point-of-care notifications and quarterly feedbac
