The ESRD Network of the South Atlantic is tasked by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to collaborate with dialysis providers in the entire Network service area to support the efforts of increasing the rates of patients dialyzing at home.

The intent of the Home Dialysis Quality Improvement Activity (QIA) is to promote referral to home dialysis modalities, identify and mitigate the barriers to timely referral, and determine the steps patients and providers can take to improve referral patterns.

7 Steps Leading To Home Dialysis Utilization
1.  Patient interest in home dialysis (after assisting the patient to determine modality options that fit the patient's lifestyle)
2.  Educational session about home modality
3.  Patient suitability for home modality determined by a nephrologist with expertise in home dialysis therapy
4.  Assessment for appropriate access placement
5.  Placement of appropriate access
6.  The patient is accepted for home modality training
7.  The patient begins home modality training (counts towards goal)
