To accomplish the goals of the Advancing American Kidney Health initiative, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation created the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Treatment Choices (ETC) payment model to encourage preventative kidney care, home dialysis, and kidney transplants. In support of the ETC payment model, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in collaboration with the Health Resources & Services Administration has established the ESRD Treatment Choices Learning Collaborative (ETCLC) with the goal of improving the quality of life of people with end stage renal disease through kidney transplantation.
ETCLC members are supported by a National Faculty and Leadership Coordinating Council made up of thought leaders and organizations in the field of organ recovery and transplant. People on dialysis, transplant recipients, and donor family members have an important voice and role in the ETCLC by identifying patient and family education needs around organ donation and transplant.

AIM 2
Decrease the current national nonuse rate of all procured kidneys with a KDPI >= 60 by 20%.
Decrease the current national nonuse rate of all procured kidneys with a KDPI < 60 by 4%.
AIM 3
Increase the recovery of high KDPI kidneys (KDPI>=60) by 28%.
