Home dialysis: It will fit into your schedule.

By Lauren Adams posted in Home hemodialysis, Peritoneal dialysis

man-with-agenda-book.jpgBusy nephrologists often see home dialysis as something that won’t fit into their schedules. This is a common misconception.

“My staff was pleased with how well these patients integrated into our PD program, allowing us to provide more options to patients,” Dr. Robert Provenzano, a nephrologist, said.

DaVita’s home dialysis program provides full services for home patients, including training and monthly care team assessments. Physicians will see their home hemo and/or PD patients on a monthly basis and work seamlessly with the care team on each patient’s progress. In addition, they will receive monthly patient and clinical outcome reports. They will also receive quarterly DaVita Quality Index (”DQI”) reports to help them follow their patients’ progress and to assess and compare outcomes.

Paper reports are supplemented by the Doctors Using Clinical Information (”DUCK”) custom clinical on-line information system. DaVita at Home is committed to supporting physicians, and we respect their busy schedules.
