| Midcourse Review > Table of Contents > Focus Area 4: Chronic Kidney Disease > Modifications to Objectives and Subobjectives Modifications to Objectives and SubobjectivesThe following discussion highlights the modifications, including changes, additions, and deletions, to this focus area's objectives and subobjectives as a result of the midcourse review. Only one of the eight original objectives was changed during the midcourse review—medical evaluation and treatment for persons with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (4-8). Issues concerning the availability of data for this developmental objective led to rewording and the addition of two subobjectives: "increase the proportion of persons with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease who receive recommended medical evaluation" (4-8a) and "increase the proportion of persons with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease who receive recommended treatment to reduce progression to chronic renal insufficiency" (4-8b). After these changes were made, the objective became measurable. The modifications were made to track appropriate medical evaluation and management to prevent progression of diabetic kidney disease to chronic renal insufficiency and ESRD. << Previous—Introduction | Table of Contents | Next—Progress Toward Healthy People 2010 Targets >> |
