The Kidney Care Quality Roadmap: Key Insights from the 2024 CMS Quality Conference

May 3, 2024

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently held its annual 2024 CMS Quality Conference in Baltimore, Maryland and KCP was represented at the conference by Reid Kiser, Founding Partner of Kiser Health Solutions, LLC. Kiser assumed leadership of the coalition’s quality related work earlier this year and will be spearheading KCP’s response to the End-Stage Renal Disease Quality Incentive Program (QIP) in addition to supporting KCP’s quality and payment workgroups.

On behalf of the coalition, Kiser attended multiple sessions on topics ranging from transplant readiness measures to home therapy innovations. Overall, the conference centered on a diverse set of topics, with CMS officials repeatedly highlighting the importance of prioritizing patient-centric measures. This has been one of KCP’s key objectives over the past few years. Additional conference discussions surrounded how technology integration and digital health measures can improve efficiency within kidney care.

As a leader in the kidney care quality improvement space, this event offered a valuable opportunity for KCP to represent the kidney care community with CMS. The coalition looks forward to building on this momentum to ensure that those with kidney disease, kidney failure, and transplants are living longer, fuller lives.
