Research Data from University of British Columbia Update Understanding of Dialysis (The integrated care model: facilitating initiation of or transition to home dialysis).

A recent report from the University of British Columbia discusses the use of home dialysis therapies for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. The report highlights the benefits of home dialysis, such as convenience and potential improvements in quality of life, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The integrated care model is introduced as a framework to address barriers and challenges in patient identification, assessment, education, and modality transitions. The goal of this model is to promote a seamless and beneficial transition to home dialysis therapies, ultimately improving the quality of life for ESKD patients globally. [Extracted from the article]
