Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease and refractory hypertension are prevalent among Veterans, prompting an evaluation of a tele-nephrology program aimed at improving care for those in rural areas.
- The study involved interviews with clinicians, revealing key themes such as the importance of clinical champions, the transition to tele-nephrology as an effective solution, and the necessity for proper staffing during remote examinations.
- The findings suggest that while tele-nephrology can enhance access for Veterans, concerns about the availability of nephrology appointments and the need for further research on patient perspectives remain vital.
