Intermountain Health HIMSS Davies Award Case Study

This case study presents the collaboration between Intermountain Health and MDClone, focusing on the implementation of AI-enhanced data analysis to identify individuals at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The document outlines the development of algorithms for accurate identification and risk stratification of CKD patients, which facilitated a data-driven referral program. It details the establishment of a multispecialty care team that delivers kidney-protective therapeutics and education to patients. The study reports significant improvements in patient outcomes, including increased rates of proper CKD staging and therapeutic interventions, as well as a reduction in hospital admissions. The challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and the adaptations made to maintain patient care are also discussed. Overall, the case study highlights the effectiveness of using AI and collaborative healthcare approaches to enhance CKD management and improve patient health outcomes.
