DaVita Physician Solutions announced the successful implementation of its newest product offering, CKD EHR by Epic. This technology helps nephrologists care for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is another step in DaVita's continued effort to propel the health care industry forward. The CKD electronic health record (EHR) system was created alongside Epic, the most widely used and comprehensive health records system, to help improve patient care by transforming the physician information technology (IT) experience. The system was designed to enable better care coordination and increase practice efficiency. The system leverages Epic's interoperability network, Care Everywhere, to share clinical information across health care providers, regardless of which EHR systems other providers use. CKD EHR by Epic also delivers nephrology-specific functionality to support population health management, including a risk stratification model, workflow tools to help manage the progression of CKD and reporting capabilities to identify gaps of care. Patients with practices using CKD EHR by Epic can also access MyChart, Epic's secure online patient portal. MyChart allows patients to schedule appointments, communicate with health care providers and review their health history and more.
