Guide Your Patients
As a healthcare provider, you will often find yourself in the position of helping patients navigate the complex maze of services in the community. When most healthcare workers think about dialysis, the most common modality that comes to mind is the standard in-center hemodialysis. We firmly believe that, with proper education to patients and caregivers on their dialysis options, we can dispel this narrative and will see home dialysis become increasingly popular. At Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego, we are dedicated to helping you with your patient’s care coordination by providing:
- Comprehensive education for patients and families about which dialysis modality is best for them.
- Urgent start for patients who begin dialysis unexpectedly while in the hospital.
- Assistance for patients who express dissatisfaction with the quality of life related to dialysis.
- Transition to a home modality for patients who are wanting to move away from in-center hemodialysis.
- Dialysis options for critically ill patients for whom transportation is difficult, patients with tracheostomies with or without ventilator support, morbid obesity, isolation precautions, and other barriers, whose needs cannot be accommodated in a traditional dialysis setting.
Education About Treatment Options
It is preferred that patients visit one of our facilities for treatment options education because we have ready access to equipment and supplies for them to visualize. However, we recognize that one size does not fit all. So, treatment options education can also be done in a variety of settings like hospitals, long-term acute care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, or in their own home based on the individual needs of the patient.
