Ontario Renal Network releases Renal Plan 2012-2015

Adhering to the Cancer Care Ontario model, the Ontario Renal Network has released its first Renal Plan, 2012-2015. The goal of this plan is to reduce a patient's risk of chronic kidney disease, raising awareness of this illness, and pursuing new approaches to improve the quality of care and treatment. The Ontario Renal Network reports that "1 in 4 patients starting dialysis in Ontario have never seen a nephrologist." The Triple Aim Approach (improving health, improving system accountability, and optimizing value for money) seeks to overturn this trend. Click here to read the complete Renal Plan.
