This subcontract to an NIH grant funds WSU's contribution to a study focused on implementing and evaluating a transitional care medication intervention in the high-risk population of hospitalized patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal of the intervention is to reduce acute care utilization, optimize clinical outcomes, and lower costs. As part of the study, faculty will adapt their nursing- and pharmacy-based intervention program to CKD patients; design and build electronic data collection tools; and extract health care outcome data from participants' medical records.Â
