We work with health systems around the country to fulfill unmet chronic kidney care needs with community-specific strategies and high-quality care by providing the support our health system partners need.
Partnering With Health Systems
Working with IRC
We believe in the power of partnerships with individual nephrologists and health systems to support providers in delivering high-quality, compassionate and patient-centered care that kidney care patients need.
We foster collaborative, transparent and nimble partnerships while leveraging the latest technology, enabling health systems to identify patients with chronic kidney disease earlier than ever. We then create a community-specific, data-driven strategy to extend access to needed services. For ESRD patients, efforts focus on optimizing the full continuum of care, including home-based dialysis services, in-center hemodialysis and acute care services.
How We Work
Health systems leverage our rich data analytics to make informed decisions that elevate patient care and outcomes. We are an agile extension of your team, expanding your organization’s capabilities to grow service lines and provide better care for the patients served by your health system.
Health systems benefit from a collaboratively developed multi-year plan that:
- Builds a comprehensive kidney care model for your system
- Expands your service offerings
- Increases your participation in the overall patient experience and outcomes
- Connects patients with the appropriate providers to manage comorbidities
- Fulfills unmet chronic kidney disease needs in your community
