Providing Knowledge and Tools to Deliver Comprehensive Care
Dr. Sara Davison and her team received a three year grant to develop a Provincial Conservative Kidney Management (CKM) Pathway to provide sustainable, high-quality, evidence-based care for patients unlikely to benefit from dialysis. Implementation of the pathway was piloted in four Chronic Kidney Disease Clinics in the Northern Alberta Renal Program. To help successfully implement the pathway the Kidney Supportive Care Research Group, in partnership with the Kidney Health Strategic Clinical NetworkTM, hosted education sessions.
Participants from the Conservative Kidney Management (CKM) Pathway pilot sites, and healthcare professionals from a variety of care settings attended these sessions. These workshops were also open to those patients, family members, and community care providers interested in learning more about conservative kidney management. Education was provided on the following topics:
