The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a compact, user-friendly reference guide on renal function guidelines for use by nurse practitioners in a primary care clinic with the goals of a) decreased incidence of prescribed nephrotoxic medications in patients with an eGFR < 60 and b) increased number of appropriate nephrology referrals. The reference guide for CKD diagnosis and treatment was created based on existing evidence-based guidelines. Clinical usefulness was evaluated by 7 providers in a private internal medicine clinic with the target population of adults, aged 18 or older with a calculated eGFR < 60. Retrospective data was collected during an 8-week implementation period.
