Colorectal cancer screening (CRC) is one of the most powerful preventive tools in primary care, but disconnected workflows can make it difficult for both clinicians and patients to stay on track. Hear Dr. Natalia Usoltseva, a primary care provider at University of Washington Medicine, talk about how integrating Epic Aura in her organization helped create a more seamless, coordinated approach to FIT-DNA screening, follow-up, and shared decision-making.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is most effective when it fits seamlessly into busy primary care workflows while still keeping patients engaged in the process. Join Dr. Natalia Usoltseva as she discusses practical ways to improve screening, from simplifying shared decision-making conversations and automating follow-up processes to ensuring patients receive the individualized support they need to stay on track with preventive care. Dr. Usoltseva is a primary care provider at University of Washington Medicine.

Shared decision-making can be difficult to incorporate into already time-constrained primary care visits, especially when discussing colorectal cancer screening (CRC) options with patients. Join Dr. Natalia Usoltseva, a primary care provider at University of Washington Medicine, to hear how her practice implemented standardized decision-making tools to create more efficient, patient-centered conversations and improve colorectal cancer screening adherence.

Integrating colorectal cancer screening into OB/GYN care expands preventive services and supports comprehensive patient health. Tune in to hear Dr. Jemel Bingham discuss practical workflow strategies, EHR integration, and patient-centered approaches to streamline screening and follow-up care. Dr. Bingham is a board-certified OB/GYN at Hartford Hospital and other affiliated medical groups in Connecticut.

Food and nutrition insecurity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be difficult to detect, even when patients appear clinically stable. To help highlight this challenge, Dr. Jeanette Andrade presents a case from her research illustrating how social and financial stressors affected a dialysis patient’s dietary intake and food access. Dr. Andrade is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Master’s in Dietetic Internship Program at the University of Florida, and this patient case was part of her presentation at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.

IgA nephropathy is often asymptomatic and frequently identified through incidental lab findings, making timely recognition challenging. Hear Dr. Abdallah Geara discuss key diagnostic strategies that may help optimize long-term care for this disease. Dr. Geara is an Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine and the Clinical Director of the Glomerular Disease Program at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and he spoke at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.

For decades, potassium restriction has been a cornerstone of dietary management in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but is it always necessary? Here to answer that exact question is Dr. Deborah Clegg. Since many patients may already be consuming potassium at restricted levels, she emphasizes the importance of individualized dietary assessment before imposing further limitations. Dr. Clegg is the Vice President for Research and a Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso.

Not all potassium is created equal, especially in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD). That’s why Dr. Deborah Clegg joins us to explore the key differences between potassium from whole foods and additives, emphasizing how bioavailability impacts serum potassium levels and hyperkalemia risk. She also examines how kidney function, comorbidities, medications, and metabolic factors all influence potassium tolerance. Not only is Dr. Clegg the Vice President for Research and a Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso, but she also spoke about this topic at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.

Early diagnosis is critical in IgA nephropathy, as most patients present with established kidney damage by the time they are identified. Tune in to hear Dr. Abdallah Geara highlight the importance of timely recognition and how emerging therapies are transforming treatment and improving patient outcomes when implemented early.

Food and nutrition insecurity are increasingly recognized as critical factors affecting outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). That’s why Dr. Jeanette Andrade joins us to share practical screening strategies and emerging solutions, like dialysis center food pantries and digital health tools. Dr. Andrade is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Master’s in Dietetic Internship Program at the University of Florida, and she spoke about this topic at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.
