I am an RN working in Dialysis for seven years now. Currently I work full time in Peritoneal Dialysis(Home Therapies) and per diem in Hemodialysis- Chronic and Acutes. I offer Dialysis Options. Most of my time in Dialysis has been in Chronic(out Patient) Hemodialysis. I have been a Nurse for about 20 years and although my time in Dialysis has only been one 3rd of my Nursing career I have totally immersed myself into this science & can definitely see myself connected to Dialysis for the rest of my Nursing career and beyond.

The Good Dialysis Index

Good_dialysisBy Bill Peckham
Dr. Agar has posted his Good Dialysis Index, which he presented during the morning session of Comprehensive Course in Hemodialysis on the Saturday of the Annual Dialysis Conference weekend last month in Seattle.
Answering yes to one of the 20 questions earns you a point; anything above 16 indicates Good Dialysis. This simplicity is a design feature. The idea is to create something usable, that matches clinical experience.
The Good Dialysis Index is a survey across four categories of questions: Patient Directed; Process Directed; Laboratory Directed; Chart Directed. Agar acknowledges that any snap shot of dialysis quality will give an incomplete picture, but over time a good GDI score will mean more than a good Kt/V.
