PRIMARY CARE PATHFINDER GAME
Navigate “On Thin Ice” to Address C-R-M Risks
Step into a world of Arctic exploration and embark on a journey that unfolds the critical role PCPs and other healthcare professionals play in addressing multisystem risk in patients with interrelated cardio-renal-metabolic (C-R-M) conditions like CKD, T2D or CVD.
C-R-M ACTION PACK
A Downloadable Digital Resource for PCPs and Other
Front-Line Clinicians
Formulate an early, comprehensive plan of action for adults with CKD, T2D or CVD based on the interrelated
nature of cardio-renal-metabolic (C-R-M) diseases and associated risk factors.
Cardio-Renal-Metabolic
Map
Shared Risk Factors Compound the Impact of Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Conditions
The interactive map provides insight into the impact of cardio-renal-metabolic conditions in the Medicare population in the United States. Use it to investigate the prevalence of these conditions at the state-, county- and congressional district-level, explore the health burden associated with these diseases, and learn about their economic impact.
Intervene early using a comprehensive approach that prioritizes patients' overall cardiovascular-renal-metabolic health.
CKD=chronic kidney disease; CV=cardiovascular; CVD=cardiovascular disease; HbA1c=hemoglobin A1C; T2D=type 2 diabetes; PCP=primary care professional; HF=heart failure; C-R-M=cardio-renal-metabolic.
