Webinar: Ending the Transfer of Dialysis Patients

Rural hospitals often face no choice but to transfer dialysis patients out of their communities due to a lack of nephrologists or dialysis infrastructure—costing the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $3 billion annually and shifting ongoing care (and revenue) away from local facilities. This session will feature the Chief Nursing Officer of a critical access hospital who implemented a tele-nephrology program with a team that had no prior dialysis experience. Within the first year, the hospital successfully cared for over 100 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients locally—patients who would have previously been transferred elsewhere. Learn how this innovative approach not only kept care close to home but also improved hospital finances and community trust.
