Nearly 37 million U.S. adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and as many as nine in 10 do not know they have the disease1, making it unlikely they are taking steps for protecting kidney health.
Insights power everything — diagnoses, treatment, prognoses, management — which makes quality, verified data especially valuable. But there’s been frequent criticism that the vast data available — claims, prescriptions, lab results, etc. — is not well integrated or available in a way that is useful.
The power of integrated data
