Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant public health problem in Australia. In the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions of New South Wales, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease is almost twice the national average [1]. No studies to explicate this anomalous trend have been reported, although in Australia short-falls in the delivery of person-centred health care for individuals have emerged through failures to meet other recommended health indicators of optimal clinical care [2]. The findings presented here represent the first exploratory phase of our investigation which aimed to inform the development of an integrated model of care for individuals experiencing CKD in primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare.
