Abstract:
A critical moment in patient-centered care for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the initial diagnosis and education about treatment options. This article describes an innovative hospital-to-home hemodialysis (HHD) transition program designed to support patients newly started on dialysis, addressing both clinical and emotional needs. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, the program offers comprehensive training, psychosocial assessment, and ongoing support to empower patients. The case of Patient A, a 39-year-old teacher who experienced a 'crash start' and successfully transitioned to HHD, highlights the program's benefits, including increased autonomy and improved quality of life. This approach bypasses traditional in-center dialysis, promoting better outcomes and patient satisfaction in managing CKD.
