UCLA Peritoneal Dialysis Symposium: Executive Order Ushers In a New Era for Kidney Health
Activity Details
Activity Name:
UCLA Peritoneal Dialysis Symposium: Executive Order Ushers In a New Era for Kidney Health
Needs Assessment:
End stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, lower quality of life (QOL) and financial burden. Patients with advanced kidney disease have options including home dialysis, such as peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD), as well as transplantation. Even though home dialysis offers several advantages over in-center hemodialysis (ICHD), and is the preferred modality by most nephrologists, only 12 percent of the US dialysis population dialyze at home. Based on the recent Presidential Executive Order, by 2025, 80 percent of all ESRD patients should be on home dialysis, or transplant. This symposium will address key concepts of PD which is the most commonly used home dialysis modality and is often the best option for a large portion of patients. This course will also cover how the recent executive order impacts your practice.
Course Objectives:
After completion of this course, the participants should be better able to:
Address Executive Order, particularly financial impact from mandatory payment model on physicians and practices
Discuss key growth and clinical competencies nephrology practices need to develop in order to build successful PD programs within this new context
Discuss the recently launched U.S Department of Health & Human Services initiative, under Presidential Executive Order, on “Advancing American Kidney Health”
Describe the anatomy and physiology of peritoneal dialysis
Understand the peritoneal dialysis apparatus, catheters, solutions and more
Write peritoneal dialysis prescriptions in different settings
Address the complications of peritoneal dialysis, such as infectious, non-infectious and metabolic
Develop integrated dialysis care, including transitional care units, urgent starts and more
Utilize current best practices in building a successful peritoneal dialysis program, such as patient selection, retention, team building and more
