Is Experience in Hemodialysis Cannulation Related to Expertise? A Metrics-based Investigation for Skills Assessment.
Abstract Cannulation is not only one of the most common medical procedures but also fraught with complications. The skill of the clinician performing cannulation directly impacts cannulation outcomes. However, current methods of teaching this skill are deficient, relying on subjective demonstrations and unrealistic manikins that have limited utility for skills training. Furthermore, of the factors that hinders effective continuing medical education is the assumption that clinical experience results in expertise. In this work, we examine if objective metrics acquired from a novel cannulation simulator are able to d...

The Culture of Education in a Large Dialysis Organization: Informing Patient‐Centered Decision Making on Treatment Options for Renal Replacement Therapy
Abstract Challenged by the observation that newly admitted dialysis patients were often unaware of their treatment options, Fresenius Medical Care, North America developed a program to improve information delivered to chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients prior to their need for renal replacement therapy. Six years ago, the Treatment Options Program (TOPs) was established utilizing a standardized approach to educate individuals with CKD Stages 3 and 4. The program education focuses on modality and vascular access options. A key component includes follow‐up at predetermined intervals, offering additional education and p...

An Evaluation of Wikipedia as a Resource for Patient Education in Nephrology
This study assesses the comprehensiveness, reliability, and readability of nephrology articles on Wikipedia. The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related problems, 10th Edition (ICD‐10) diagnostic codes for nephrology (N00–N29.8) were used as a topic list to investigate the English Wikipedia database. Comprehensiveness was assessed by the proportion of ICD‐10 codes that had corresponding articles. Reliability was measured by both the number of references per article and proportion of references from substantiated sources. Finally, readability was assessed using three validated indices (Flesch...

A Paradigm Shift in Options, Education, and an Online Decision Aid: 'My Life, My Dialysis Choice'.
Abstract Dialysis options education in the United States for patients tends to focus on clinical aspects of ESRD treatment and on how each option is done. The non-profit Medical Education Institute (MEI) has developed an online, patient-centered dialysis decision aid that maps six dialysis options (peritoneal dialysis, standard incenter hemodialysis, conventional home hemodialysis, short daily hemodialysis, and nocturnal hemodialysis--incenter or at home) in four categories onto 24 different lifestyle and health values. This new free, non-commercial tool allows education to start with why an individual might want ...
