    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Public Health
    • Healthcare Access

    Background:

    • Renal failure necessitates dialysis, impacting patients' ability to work.
    • Evening dialysis options are vital for maintaining employment among dialysis patients.
    • Geographic and service availability of dialysis impacts patient work reentry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the accessibility of evening dialysis services for renal failure patients.
    • To determine the proportion of working-age patients with access to evening dialysis.
    • To analyze patient location relative to dialysis unit offerings.

    Main Methods:

    • Categorizing dialysis units by location and evening service availability.
    • Comparing dialysis patient locations with dialysis unit service data.

  • Estimating patient access to evening dialysis within their market area and own unit.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant majority of working-age renal failure patients have access to evening dialysis.
    • Access was evaluated both within the patient's local market area and their specific dialysis unit.
    • The study indicates broad availability of evening dialysis for the workforce population.

    Conclusions:

    • Evening dialysis services are widely accessible to working-age renal failure patients.
    • Geographic distribution and service provision of dialysis units support patient employment.
    • Healthcare policy should consider evening dialysis as a key factor for patient work reintegration.
