At Healthmap Solutions, our number one priority is the health of our kidney patients. We partner with patients’ providers, such as primary care physicians, nephrologists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists, to support and manage the whole patient in our Kidney Health Management program. Our team of clinical and non-clinical staff work with providers to identify, manage, monitor, and close potential gaps in care, helping patients live healthier lives.

It’s important to build strong relationships with patients as we work together to ensure the best care possible. Our Care Navigation team talks directly with patients about their individual experiences and needs. This helps us identify personalized patient support through varying components, such as resources and education, medication evaluation, diet review, and much more. Our mission is to work with patients and their providers to ensure they live healthier, longer lives.

Kidney Health Management (KHM)

What is Kidney Health Management?

Our Kidney Health Management (KHM) solution is designed to improve the health of people with chronic kidney disease and other chronic conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. We can identify potential health issues, provide education, and more as we become a primary resource for patients within our KHM program.

How will I be selected for kidney health management?

You may be selected for the KHM program based on information about your unique health needs provided by your doctor or your health plan. Your doctor may specifically recommend inclusion in the program if you have health conditions that may affect your kidneys, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
