Summary

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent, poorly recognized and undertreated and increases risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and mortality. ASCVD risk interventions such as statin medications are not effective if initiated when kidney disease is advanced. Thus, early recognition of CKD is important for effective ASCVD risk management. Patient centered medical homes (PCMH)s (clinics which include nurse educators, dietitians, pharmacists and social workers) were designed to address gaps in care for complex chronic diseases such as CKD by increasing availability of ancillary services for patients. However, PCMH models have not been shown to improve the recognition and treatment of CKD and its associated ASCVD risk. The E DYNAMIC CDS retrieves real-time patient data from the electronic health record (EHR) every 24 hours to help primary care providers (PCP) identify patients with CKD and assess ASCVD risk and provide appropriate treatment. E-DYNAMIC also delegates CKD care with utilization of an opt-out approach for nurse education and dietitian referral. The overall objective of this pragmatic trial is to examine whether the E-DYNAMIC CDS increases PCP recognition of CKD and use of ASCVD risk management interventions when implemented within a PCMH. This pragmatic trial will be conducted within the Hines VA Hospital and community-based outpatient clinics designed as PCMH called teamlets. Teamlets include several PCPs, a nurse educator, a dietitian, a pharmacist, and a social worker. We will randomize 51 teamlets to the E-DYNAMIC CDS or to standard care. This pragmatic trial will address the following aims: 1) Determine the difference in PCP diagnosis of CKD stage 3-5 non-dialysis dependent CKD by allocation to the E-DYNAMIC CDS; 2) Determine the difference in PCPs ASCVD risk management of patients with stage 3-5 non-dialysis dependent CKD by teamlet allocation to the E-DYNAMIC CDS; 3) Determine the difference in patient use of ASCVD risk interventions and patient activation measures by their teamlet allocation to the E-DYNAMIC CDS. The primary outcomes of the pragmatic trial will be ascertained from the EHR. The E-DYNAMIC CDS tool may be transferred into other health systems that utilize an EHR and improve the diagnosis and management of CKD.
