Aiming for a win for everyone
Some 37 million people in the United States live with chronic kidney disease, and treatment can be challenging and costly. We formed an innovative new company, CVS Kidney Care, LLC, to combat this illness with the following key objectives:
Enhancing productivity and quality of life
Empowering people to choose treatment options that are right for them
Reducing hospital admissions
Lowering overall costs of care
Susan’s Journey
CVS Kidney Care identifies Susan as having chronic kidney disease. Susan is encouraged to see a nephrologist if she hasn’t already.
- Nurse Care Manager
CVS Kidney Care collaborates with Susan’s doctor to provide ongoing management of her condition.
- Educational support on condition
- Nutritional and medical management
Years later, the condition has advanced to needing renal replacement therapy. CVS helps Susan get on the transplant list and discusses treatment options, including at-home hemodialysis and supportive care.
- Nurse Care Manager
Susan chooses to receive at-home hemodialysis while waiting on a transplant. Her Kidney Care team trains her and her caregiver in how to operate a home dialysis device correctly and comfortably without a nurse present.
- Remote monitoring
- Medication management
Not an actual patient, but a representative journey.
