Caring for a Complex Population
With the shift to value-based care taking hold, DaVita believes that outcome-driven partnerships with health plans can offer meaningful solutions for kidney patients. We work with you to structure tailored agreements based on your needs—whether that’s full-risk, shared-savings or pay-for-performance—to deliver holistic, patient-centered care, from the early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end stage kidney disease (ESKD).
ESKD patients, who, on average, experience 4 or more comorbidities1, and CKD patients are a vulnerable, medically complex and costly population. Together, we can offer differentially better care while helping reduce costs.

"Together, I believe we can forge a future of innovation and reduce the global burden of kidney failure."
– Dr. Jeffrey Giullian, Chief Medical Officer of DaVita Kidney Care
A Value-Based Model of Care
Through close collaboration with nephrologists, we provide patient-centered care that spans the continuum of kidney care.
Predictive analytics to identify risk of CKD and progression to ESKD
Patient education, focusing on modality options, transplant readiness and palliative care
Care coordination, including comorbid condition management
Active collaboration between primary care physicians, nephrologists and DaVita care teams
DaVita Integrated Kidney Care3 (DaVita IKC) teams conduct baseline assessments to tailor care plans based on the comprehensive health needs of each patient in an effort to help delay CKD progression, smooth the transition to ESKD and help patients choose the right treatment option for them. Patients receive coordinated primary care and comorbid condition management that can lead to positive clinical outcomes and enhanced patient experience.
Nephrology Care Alliance (NCA) offers nephrologists opportunities to leverage established tools and programs to make full continuum, integrated kidney care a reality for patients.
