Home before Hospital: a whole of system re-design project to improve rates of home-based dialysis therapy: Experience and outcomes over 8 years

ConclusionHaving the system-wide approach to a Quality Improvement Process and using established principles and change management processes, the successful implementation of a new sustainable model of care focussed on home-based dialysis therapy was achieved. A key feature of the model (through outreach) was early nurse-led education and support of patients in decision-making and ongoing support through multidisciplinary care.
