Pos-469 enhancing patient care by partnering with patients in kidney health research

Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) has raised awareness of the need to generate knowledge that is more relevant to patients and to accelerate the translation of evidence into clinical care. Members of the Canadian nephrology community have come together to develop a national patient-oriented research network, Can-SOLVE CKD, that is partnering with patients to close existing gaps in kidney disease knowledge in order to deliver better health outcomes. The Can-SOLVE CKD Network brings together patients and nephrology researchers to transform treatment and care for Canadians living with or at risk for chronic kidney disease.
