Background: Many end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients present with complaints related to missed or incomplete hemodialysis (HD). Inpatient HD units often are not credentialed for outpatient use which results in extra cost and consumes additional resources for a standard outpatient procedure. Delays in patient throughput in emergency departments (ED) can cause boarding in the […]
