This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a pilot study testing a new communication tool called the CKM JumpStart Tool, designed to help patients aged 75 and older with advanced kidney disease talk more openly with their doctors about their condition. The tool aims to make it easier for patients and healthcare providers to discuss kidney disease management and treatment options together. Researchers want to see if the tool actually helps people have these important conversations more often than they would normally.
Many patients with advanced kidney disease don't discuss their condition and treatment choices enough with their doctors. This study exists to test whether a simple communication tool can help bridge that gap and lead to more meaningful conversations between patients and providers.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either receive the new communication tool or continue with your usual care. You will have three check-ins: at enrollment, within two weeks after your next clinic visit with your provider, and again about three months later. During these visits, you'll answer questions about whether you discussed kidney disease with your doctor, and some participants may be asked about their experience using the tool through interviews.
