"We're thrilled to present several highlights from our research team that have been formative in our strategy to deliver holistic care to patients at every stage and setting of the kidney care journey."

In developing the new

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Rare Disease Network, DCR harnessed growing patient and physician interest in joining hybrid and decentralized trials, increasing the geographic, socioeconomic and racial diversity of the research population. As more physician practices join DaVita's CKD-focused EHR, the opportunity to leverage that platform of technology to support data-driven recruitment increases, as do novel ways to centrally manage and operationalize clinical trials. These technology advances, along with expert support, expand the opportunity to reach an even greater audience to research and introduce new treatment options. More information is available here.

DaVita representatives will be available to discuss the research as well as collaboration opportunities in the Kidney Week exhibit hall, including the CKD & Rare Disease Network.

ASN Kidney Week 2022 will convene more than 15,000 kidney care professionals from around the world in a hybrid (virtual and in-person) format to discuss advancements in the field of nephrology.

ASN will also make a virtual experience available at https://www.asn-online.org/kidneyweek. Content, including posters and abstracts, will be available online.

DaVita will share updates throughout the meeting on Twitter on both @DaVitaDoc and @DaVitaResearch and will also join the conversation using #KidneyWK.
