Overview

May facilitate kidney disease communication in primary care; leaves open optimal terminology and outcome validation in trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
37 participants (18 veterans with or at risk for kidney disease and 19 primary care clinicians) engaged in a qualitative think-aloud study to evaluate the Kidney Score Platform.
I
Intervention
Kidney Score Platform (web-based interactive tool for CKD risk assessment and self-management)
O
Outcome
Usability and themes related to content and communication about risk for CKDpatient reported

The Kidney Score Platform is a usable tool that can promote communication about kidney disease in primary care, though balancing medical and lay terminology remains a challenge.
