Practice points: potential strategies for improving guideline implementation in clinical practice
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Patient engagement to increase knowledge of the rationale behind eGFR and UACR testing |
| 2 | Referral of requesting doctors to clinical guidelines by pathologists |
| 3 | Implementation of HCP education strategies to encourage both initial screening and periodic follow-up monitoring of eGFR and UACR |
| 4 | Financial incentives for implementation of best practice in healthcare settings |
eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HCP, healthcare professional; UACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
