Hospitals and Health Systems

Working with IRC

We believe that the continuity of care of kidney care patients is vital, and we help our partners ensure their patients receive the right care while they’re in the hospital and beyond. Our acute care services are comprehensive, efficient and transparent, and we help providers drive better care coordination across all specialties. As a result, our partners see improved patient tracking, lower hospital readmissions and better patient outcomes.

We are experts in running dialysis programs with a partner – and we do this through our differentiated hospital-based services:

  • Efficient patient and staff scheduling
  • Transparent billing
  • Reproducible quality metrics
  • Integrated EMR
  • Regular input from our partners
