Outcomes Assessment
Qualified persons that provide KDE services must develop outcomes assessments that are
designed to measure beneficiary knowledge about CKD and its treatment. The
assessment must be administered to the beneficiary during a KDE session, and be made
available to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) upon request. The
outcomes assessments serve to assist KDE educators and CMS in improving subsequent
KDE programs, patient understanding, and assess program effectiveness of:
• Preparing the beneficiary to make informed decisions about their healthcare
options related to CKD, and
• Meeting the communication needs of underserved populations, including persons
with disabilities, persons with limited English proficiency, and persons with
health literacy needs.
