Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative
Partnering with patients with kidney disease and their caregivers to achieve health, longevity, and quality of life equivalent to the general population.
IROC BY THE NUMBERS
The Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative (IROC) is a Learning Health Network (LHN) dedicated to improving the lives of children with a kidney transplant.
We collaborate with patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers from the most advanced pediatric healthcare organizations in the United States to solve difficult problems and improve health outcomes.
“The greatest obstacle to improving long-term outcomes for children with kidney disease is not the lack of available therapies, but rather the lack of effective healthcare delivery systems that implement existing therapies reliably in clinical practice.”
— David K. Hooper, MD, MS, Medical Director of Kidney Transplantation at the University of Utah & Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital and Principal Investigator of IROC
When healthcare organizations learn and improve together, progress happens faster. Through IROC, member centers have improved important clinical outcomes, contributed to groundbreaking research, and advanced standards of care that benefit children with kidney transplants across the country.
The lessons learned at one center can quickly spread throughout the Network, amplifying impact and accelerating improvement.
