Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial will test the impact of feedback and a toolkit aimed at improving the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the primary care setting. This trial will use family physicians in Ontario participating in the Electronic.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This trial will use family physicians in Ontario participating in the Electronic Medical Record Administrative data Linked Database (EMRALD) and receiving the System for Audit and Feedback to Improve caRE (SAFIRE) along with other decision support tools. Performance on CKD quality indicators for family physicians receiving the CKD feedback and tools will be compared to physicians not receiving the CKD feedback or tools.
