Nephrologist Timothy Pflederer discusses his article “How value-based care transforms chronic kidney disease management,” highlighting how value-based care (VBC) is reshaping the treatment of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. Timothy explains how VBC encourages continuity of care through interdisciplinary teamwork, empowers long-term patient engagement, and addresses health inequities that disproportionately affect minority populations.
