How do we build a safety net for millions of Americans living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t have the care and support they need to manage this complex, degenerative condition? Unfortunately, a large portion of CKD patients either lack access to a nephrologist or remain unaware of their condition, leading to more severe health complications over time. In this episode of Kidney Health Connections, Dr. Julie Dominguez, Interwell Health medical director, dives into the critical role of nephrologists in improving patient outcomes and explores innovative solutions to bridge the care gap in settings where patients don’t have a nephrologist.

To create a comprehensive kidney care safety net—especially in the face of an ongoing nephrologist shortage—Dr. Dominguez shares how Interwell Health works to connect patients with local providers and, when needed, leverages advanced practice providers (APPs) and telehealth to provide focused interim care. She also discusses the role of technology, including predictive analytics and electronic health records, in identifying patients in need of additional support and creating seamless care transitions.
