CARI seeks to improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients with kidney disease in Australia & New Zealand by facilitating the development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines based on the best available evidence and effectiveness. The CARI guidelines are now divided into three disease stages - Dialysis; Chronic Kidney Disease; and Transplantation. Each guideline comprises various subtopics and their recommendations. The CARI Guidelines process includes the revision of guidelines every three years to incorporate the latest evidence and keep guidelines relevant. As updating is completed, the finalised guidelines will be published in the journal 'Nephrology'. Implementation The CARI Office assists writers by locating relevant trials and conducts appropriate literature searches. The Research Officer also develops summary Evidence Tables for each guideline subtopic. An Iron implementation project and a timely appropriate Vascular Access project have been run.
