The Nephrology Consult Letter Template, developed by the Renal Physicians Association and the National Kidney Disease Education Program, is a timesaving tool designed to help nephrologists communicate clearly and quickly with patients' primary care providers.
You enter patient information into the Consult Letter Template—it does the rest. It calculates estimated GFR, generates a list of comprehensive, CKD stage-specific next steps, and allows you to easily delineate areas of care.
Intended to supplement a standard consult note, final letters can be saved locally onto a hard drive or printed out on your letterhead. The letters can then be sent electronically or mailed to your patients' primary care providers.
