Techniques include health-risk assessments, disease management, and multi-disciplinary team triage. Tertiary Prevention: Avoiding patient decline or worsening of a serious patient condition. Techniques include disease management. Health Risk Assessments: To gather information about behaviors and activities that can influence health status, the Dialysis At Home team conducts health-risk assessments. This information is shared with partners, caregivers, doctors, the patient's health plan, and the backup support facility. The objective of the health-risk assessment is to identify individuals at risk for illness and take action to reduce these risks. Care-Management Team Triage: These formalized interventions are designed to educate patients, and may reduce unnecessary medical costs. The patients speak directly with a nurse, a social worker, and a dietitian regarding individual health issues as they relate to the patient's renal disease and health status. Patient Health Education: The objective of health education is to get patients to identify, understand, and change high-risk behaviors. The patient learns about their condition and treatment. In addition, they receive instruction in how to care for themselves, and stay as healthy as possible. Care at home is often an excellent solution for your patient. As an important member of the dialysis resource community, you are an integral part of delivering quality home dialysis care to people with chronic kidney disease. Through your suggestions, you can help us realize our goal: Creating a high-quality model of care, with excellent outcomes for the individual patient.
