Abstract:
Declining reimbursement and rising supply costs have led to use of technicians in peritoneal dialysis. This evolution has helped contain costs effectively while enhancing quality care. Recommendations for use of unlicensed assistive personnel by professional organizations include clear role definition, documented training, and delegation criteria. Applications of technician use in peritoneal dialysis allow nurses to delegate tasks to technicians in harmony with legal and professional standards.
