Based on survey data, 90% of PCPs found the e-consult and pharmacist recommendations useful. Four major themes emerged from interviews: (1) PCPs favored e-consults because they addressed barriers to nephrology referral and provided easy specialty access; (2) PCPs valued the team-based approach of Kidney CHAMP; (3) PCPs felt that e-consult-based interventions may not be appropriate for all patients with CKD, and in some cases less impactful than face-to-face visits; and (4) some PCPs were dissatisfied with the burden of implementing recommendations and processing lengthy documentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An electronic health record-based PHM approach to increase timely access to nephrology care and multidisciplinary specialty team was viewed by PCPs as a valuable co-management intervention. Future improvements, including a more hands-on approach from the nephrology team to share the burden of implementation, and PCP workflow facilitation are potential opportunities to optimize the PHM intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-026-10242-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,11]],"date-time":"2026-02-11T13:48:45Z","timestamp":1770817725000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Primary Care Provider Perceptions of a Population Health Management Program to Improve Kidney Care: A Mixed Methods Study"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"given":"Melanie R.","family":"Weltman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linda-Marie U.","family":"Lavenburg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Balchandre","family":"Neilesh Kenkre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lane","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ambreen","family":"Gul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra E.","family":"Bursic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pooja","family":"Amarapurkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Megan E.","family":"Hamm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9178-1468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manisha","family":"Jhamb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"10242_CR1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
