Austin Kidney Associates (“AKA”) is offering a new Home Monitoring program. This
program was created with the goal of improving your health by talking with you and
monitoring your health status between office visits. That’s right, we continue to monitor
your condition while you are in the convenience and safety of your home. The
nephrologists at AKA believe it can greatly help us oversee the care of patients who
qualify for the program.

Home Monitoring allows your nephrologist to provide you with access to a nurse who is
focused on your kidney health and blood pressure control during the time between your
office appointments.

Here are just some of the benefits available to you through this program:

• Access to a dedicated clinical Care Navigator who will help you manage your
  care plan while home. Clinical Care Navigators are nurses who will contact you
  by phone to discuss your health status and help your nephrologist keep track of
  your response to the plan of care they have for you.
• Clinical Care Navigators provide personalized support, education, and guidance
  through these monthly phone consultations.
• Your Care Navigator will collaborate with your care team to ensure consistent
  communication and any needed adjustments to your care plan to promote
  optimal health.
• And in some cases, a blood pressure cuff can be sent right to your home (at no
  cost to you) that requires no set-up and sends readings directly to your
  nephrology care team.
