In this Friday’s PCT Grand Rounds, researchers from ICD-Pieces, an NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Trial, will present aggregate outcomes from the study and share experiences from trial implementation.
Dr. Miguel Vazquez of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Dr. George (Holt) Oliver of the Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation will present “ICD-Pieces: Improving Care for CKD, Diabetes and Hypertension in Health Systems.” The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, April 1, at 1:00 pm eastern.
ICD-Pieces is a pragmatic trial of a collaborative primary care–nephrology care model for patients with chronic kidney disease in a predominantly minority population. The study is implementing a novel technology platform (Pieces) that enables the use of electronic health record data to improve chronic kidney disease care within primary care practices or medical homes in the community.
ICD-Pieces is supported within the NIH Collaboratory by the NIH Common Fund and by a cooperative agreement from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
