Summary
In the United States, the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) rests disproportionately on rural communities. This study evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of CommunityRx-Kidney Health (CRx-K); this health information technology intervention integrates medical, social, and self-care resources to improve CKD management in rural eastern North Carolina. Through a partnership among local primary care centers, community organizations, and researchers, CRx-K will strengthen rural care networks, improve CKD management, and enhance the well-being of rural communities.

CommunityRx-Kidney Health
CommunityRx-Kidney Health (CRx-K) is an evidence-based, low-intensity, health information technology-driven intervention designed to support chronic kidney disease management in rural eastern North Carolina. CRx-K integrates medical (e.g., blood pressure and glucose monitoring, eye and foot care), social (food, housing, transportation), and self-care (weight and stress management, exercise) resources. CRx-K comprises three components: brief education on integrated chronic kidney disease needs, a personalized community resource referral list (HealtheRx), and clinic navigator-led, longitudinal support (12 months) for chronic kidney disease patients.
