Improving the Effectiveness of Chronic Kidney Replacement Therapy in Latvia: A Quality and Cost Framework Based on the Latvian Kidney Disease Registry

The pilot project aims to implement a new model for improving treatment quality and cost efficiency for patients with kidney replacement therapy (KRT) using the Latvian Kidney Disease Registry (LKDR). The goal is to improve treatment quality and optimize costs within the context of value-based healthcare.
This pilot project is a new and innovative approach that will improve the quality of KRT in Latvia and optimize its costs. The project will use the LKDR to ensure the collection and analysis of standardized clinical and cost data. Using this data will allow us to identify problems, set treatment quality criteria, and develop recommendations for treatment improvement.
The project will improve the management of the kidney transplant waiting list, which is the most effective KRT modality, to improve access to kidney transplantation.
