Premier, AstraZeneca, and leading health systems announced a strategic partnership called Uncover CKD- Care Collective. The key goals are to identify consumers with undiagnosed clinical chronic kidney disease (CKD); raise awareness of undiagnosed CKD among health care professionals; and inform U.S. health systems that want to improve or develop and implement their strategies for CKD diagnosis, treatment, and management.
The Uncover CKD – Care Collective will have access to the following resources to improve CKD diagnosis:
- PINC AI™ Applied Sciences (PAS) RWD leveraging the robust PINC AI™ Healthcare Database, laboratory data and technology to identify high-volume areas of unidentified, at-risk consumers; screen undiagnosed CKD consumers, estimate prevalence and report hospital-specific consumer counts; and describe consumer characteristics and the clinical and economic outcomes of undiagnosed CKD. This discovery phase work has been completed and findings disseminated to characterize the burden of CKD across the health systems, prioritize and focus hospital-level initiatives, and commit to sustainable organizational change.
- PAS Improvement Science’s Health System Awareness Package, including provider and consumer education, provider resources and workflow processes as well as support for participating health systems through provider engagement – all created to be scaled broadly across Premier’s health system network.
- PINC AI™ Stanson AI-powered technology, including clinical decision support and real-time alerts integrated into the provider workflow, to help strategically modify provider behavior to improve CKD screening, diagnosis and care quality.
- PINC AI™ Advisory Services to actively engage physicians, foster mutual accountability and drive clinical transformation and quality improvement efforts around CKD diagnosis, treatment and management throughout the health systems.
- Premier Pharmacy and Group Purchasing Organization resources to optimize medication management protocols and streamline operational processes for enhanced efficiency and positive consumer outcomes.
- PINC AI™ Population Health Management Collaborative, including member Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and those on the transformation to value-based care, to facilitate idea exchange and best practice sharing.
