In this episode of Kidney Health Connections, Dr. Carney Taylor, former co-president of Eastern Nephrology Associates in Greenville, NC, shares how the practice achieved a perfect quality score in the government’s value-based Kidney Care Choices Model and an impressive 84 percent optimal start rate during his tenure. Dr. Taylor highlights the importance of care coordination and data, as well as how the practice drove cultural and leadership changes to realize the full potential of value-based care in improving patient outcomes. In addition, he discusses how Eastern Nephrology navigated the challenges of caring for patients across a large, mostly rural, area in a fragmented healthcare system.

Dr. Taylor sat down with Interwell Chief Medical Officer Dr. George Hart to record this episode ahead of the 2024 Interwell Health Partner Summit, where the company first announced that Dr. Taylor would be transitioning from his seat on Interwell’s board to a full-time role on the medical office leadership team. During the conversation, Dr. Taylor also shares how he plans to champion value-based kidney care and a patient-first approach in his role as associate chief medical officer of Interwell.
