Provider perspectives of clinical decision support for chronic kidney disease management: a cross-sectional study.

Robert Goldberg et al. · BMC medical informatics and decision making · 2026
Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately one in ten adults globally.

Purpose

To evaluate clinician-reported perspectives and acceptability of CDS elements for ambulatory CKD management and inform the development of a CKD-specific CDS intervention.

Methods

Comfort prescribing each medication class was compared using mean paired differences before and after viewing the proposed CDS.

n = 42
Results
clinicians felt more comfortable prescribing kidney disease medications with the support tool
n = 42
More results

Between May and June 2025, 137 clinicians engaged with the survey, 131 completed demographics and 111 completed all survey elements.

Most were nephrologists (n = 42; 32%) or general internal medicine specialists (n = 36; 27%).

Overall, 88 (79%) supported CDS integration.

“
Conclusion

Clinicians support CDS integration to enhance CKD care in ambulatory settings. The proposed CDS increased perceived prescribing confidence, particularly for GLP-1RA and nsMRA.
