Transforming kidney care across Canada
Bringing together patients, clinicians, researchers and kidney programs to improve kidney care and outcomes across Canada.
Advancing kidney health through shared clinical evidence and practical tools
The Canadian Kidney Care Collaborative is a national initiative bringing together clinicians, researchers, patients, and kidney programs. Our purpose is to improve outcomes for Canadians living with kidney disease by developing, validating, and stewarding practical clinical tools, patient education platforms, and sustainable care models.
Collaboration & Quality
Connecting multidisciplinary teams to share clinical knowledge, address common practice challenges, and support continuous quality improvement.
Education & Patient Empowerment
Equipping patients and families with accessible, guided digital education through initiatives like NeFora to support informed shared decisions.
Practical Clinical Tools
Delivering validated prognostic tools and sustainable care models to help kidney care teams prioritize resources and plan interventions.
Practical tools for kidney care teams
Evidence-based clinical decision support and environmental sustainability modeling stewarded by the Canadian Kidney Care Collaborative.
KDpredict
Clinical Prediction Model
