Our name, Monogram, symbolizes the personalized focus of our services.

While the application of the latest technology and data science is critical to our success, we never lose sight that healthcare is ultimately about trusted individual relationships between healthcare professionals and their patients.

Unfortunately, individuals living with advanced CKD and ESRD are negatively impacted by well entrenched systematic forces such as perverse economic incentives, poor adherence to evidence-based care, and a lack of sensitivity to the negative impacts of social determinants of health.

The 21st Century Cures Act is a seminal piece of legislation designed to shift individuals living with ESRD from FFS Medicare into managed care and reverse decades and decades of sub-optimal outcomes. Monogram was born with a vision to serve health plans and other sponsors of health care and solve for these systemic problems.  Our mission is to improve clinical outcomes by predicting the onset of CKD and ESRD, slowing its progression, and reducing hospitalizations, morbidity and mortality.

We are founded and operated by a core group of former government programs health plan executives, including our CEO, Michael Uchrin, a world-renown nephrologist and author of over 200 published pieces of research, Dr. Raymond Hakim, and former US Senator Bill Frist M.D., a retired cardiac surgeon and recognized leader for improving the quality of care provided to human beings across the world.

We welcome all stakeholders in the CKD | ESRD ecosystem to join us in our mission to measurably improve outcomes for individuals living with these conditions.
