Abstract
Evidence-based screening tools and guidelines for chronic kidney disease (CKD) are inconsistently utilized in primary care. A quality improvement (QI) project evaluated the impact of a CKD education workshop for interprofessional clinical staff and the implementation of the Screening for Occult Renal Disease (SCORED) risk assessment tool to improve identification of patients at risk for CKD in a primary care clinic. Results of the SCORED risk assessment indicated 92% of patient participants were at high risk for CKD. Overall, the SCORED risk assessment reinforced CKD risk factor knowledge among health care professionals.
