Summary

This trial assesses how EBIs affect patient safety & efficiency, & identifies any barriers that could affect their implementation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with new, significant anemia or reduced kidney function (eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2) seen at University of Texas Physicians clinics. It's not suitable for those who don't meet these specific blood and kidney health criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether usual care combined with specialist consultations improves patient safety and efficiency in diagnosing primary care conditions like anemia and reduced kidney function.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve usual medical care and additional specialist advice, side effects are not a primary concern of this trial but will depend on individual treatments received as part of standard care.
