The CKM JumpStart Tool is a 1-page handout that describes the values of a patient and words that a providers can try with the patient to explore the patient' values more and to provide a values-based introduction to CKM. The values described in the CKM JumpStart Tool is based on a patient's response to a single validated question that we will ask the patient at T1, if they had to choose, do they value care directed at longevity or comfort. Using the patient's answer to the values question, study staff will generate a CKM JumpStart Tool prior to their upcoming clinic visit with their nephrologist. Study staff will inform the patient that their response to the values question will be shared with their provider prior to their next clinic visit and that their providers might bring up their values and treatment options for kidney disease, if the situation permits. We will share the CKM Jumpstart Tool with their provider and provide instruction on how to use the Tool.
