Interventions

• CommunityRx-Kidney Health — BEHAVIORAL
  CommunityRx-Kidney Health (CRx-K) is an evidence-based, low-intensity, health information technology-driven intervention designed to support chronic kidney disease management in rural eastern North Carolina. CRx-K integrates medical (e.g., blood pressure and glucose monitoring, eye and foot care), social (food, housing, transportation), and self-care (weight and stress management, exercise) resources. CRx-K comprises three components: brief education on integrated chronic kidney disease needs, a personalized community resource referral list (HealtheRx), and clinic navigator-led, longitudinal support (12 months) for chronic kidney disease patients.

Study Details

In the United States, the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) rests disproportionately on rural communities. This study evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of CommunityRx-Kidney Health (CRx-K); this health information technology intervention integrates medical, social, and self-care resources to improve CKD management in rural eastern North Carolina. Through a partnership among local primary care centers, community organizations, and researchers, CRx-K will strengthen rural care networks, improve CKD management, and enhance the well-being of rural communities.
