For more than 10 years, Kidney Smart® has been providing robust kidney health education to patients and their families via online or in-person classes available at no cost. Kidney Smart is more than just providing information—it’s connecting with patients, hearing their stories, and providing them with the tools they need to manage their health. For physicians, it can be an effective tool for extending patient conversations to ensure they are best positioned to take an active role in their care, as Mihran Naljayan, MD, MHA, FASN, FNKF shares.

I agree that you should know your paitents,know what works for them, which modality is right for them etc. but what happened to actually talking to them??? Co produce and Co plan the care together as equals?? Oh no wait here’s anothhhher app and booklet 👍🏾. I get the USA is different but this “ad” “infomercial” really didn’t hit me the right way personally.
I became a kidney smart educator and am currently working with physicians in the area to provide education to as many people as possible
Great video emphasizing patient-informed decision making. If possible, giving the patient and their loved ones the time to digest the material.
Never once in 4+ years and counting doing dialysis have I been presented with this information 😔 not surprised 😮

1moBeing able to teach Kidney Smart - Home Edition PD was such an amazing experience. CKD patients were able to learn specifically about a home option, practice hands on with a PD catheter, complete a manual exchange, and see a cycler treatment. So many patients left class saying how much they appreciated that their Nephrologists sent them to class and many voiced greater comfort with making a dialysis treatment decision.
