Description

Vets diagnosed with end-stage renal disease -- a condition of permanent kidney failure -- represent one of the most resource-intensive patient populations at the VA. These vets are often prescribed dialysis, a procedure that removes excess fluids and toxins from the bloodstream. VA began developing its Dialysis Pilot in 2009 with 4 goals: (1) improved quality of care, (2) increased vet access, (3) additional med. research opportunities, and (4) cost savings. Through this pilot, VA will establish four VA-operated outpatient dialysis clinics in communities surrounding select VA med. centers. This report examined VAäó»s planning and early implementation efforts for the Dialysis Pilot, and how VA plans to evaluate the pilot. Illus. A print on demand report.
