The Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative (IROC) is a learning health network dedicated to improving the lives of children with a kidney transplant.
About IROC
Our learning network started in 2016 on a mission to partner with patients with a kidney transplant and their families to improve health, longevity, and quality of life.
We collaborate with patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers from the most advanced pediatric healthcare organizations in the United States to rapidly solve difficult problems and improve health outcomes by: sharing data, implementing quality improvement methods, designing and disseminating innovative research, and creating new standards of care.
Our Priorities
IROC has focused on addressing elements of its “Optimal Outcome” framework, a composite metric of clinical health measures. Currently, IROC is dedicated to three specific priorities:
Increasing appropriate blood pressure measurement and control
Reducing acute allograft rejection
Improving quality of life for patients and caregivers
