A Person-Centered Interdisciplinary Plan-of-Care Program for Dialysis: Implementation and Preliminary Testing.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Despite growing interest in individualizing care, routine dialysis processes, including the interdisciplinary plan of care, often fail to account for patient-identified priorities. To better align dialysis care with patient priorities and improve care planning experiences, we implemented a person-centered care plan program at a single clinic. We also sought to gain insight into key implementation considerations and areas for program improvement.

Study design

6-month quality improvement project with research substudy.

Setting & participants

49 hemodialysis patients and 14 care team members at a North Carolina dialysis clinic.

Quality improvement activities

Implementation of My Dialysis Plan, a person-centered care plan program.
