Improving vascular access care for haemodialysis (HD) patients is crucial. A structured program including an Individual Access Vulnerability Score, Access Care Plan, and staff training enhances patient satisfaction and reduces complications.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Vascular access is critical for haemodialysis (HD) patients.
  • Patient surveys indicate a need for improvement in vascular access and cannulation techniques.
  • Current practices may not fully optimize patient access outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a structured program to improve vascular access management in haemodialysis.
  • To enhance patient satisfaction and reduce access-related complications.
  • To improve staff knowledge and clinical skills in vascular access cannulation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an Individual Access Vulnerability Score.
  • Implementation of a patient-specific Access Care Plan.
  • Establishment of a staff cannulation training program.

Main Results:

  • The structured program aims to improve staff's valuation of patient access.
  • Anticipated improvements in patient satisfaction and reduction in access complications.
  • Potential enhancement of staff knowledge and clinical abilities regarding vascular access.

Conclusions:

  • A structured approach to vascular access care can significantly improve outcomes.
  • Valuing patient access through targeted interventions leads to higher quality service.
  • Implementation of the proposed program is expected to benefit patients and staff alike.
