Temporary stoppage of peritoneal dialysis when laparoscopic procedures are performed on patients undergoing CAPD/CCPD: a change in policy.

Advances in peritoneal dialysis. Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis·2000

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Administration

Background:

  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD) requires specialized staff training.
  • Effective staff orientation is crucial for patient safety and quality care in PD.
  • Existing orientation programs may lack objective performance measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the revision of PD policies, procedures, and patient care standards.
  • To present an approach for integrating these standards into an employee orientation program.
  • To facilitate the creation of an orientation module with measurable outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Revision of departmental policies, procedures, and patient care standards for PD.
  • Development of an orientation module linked to the employee orientation program.

  • Focus on objective and measurable patient care and staff performance outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Clear and accurate PD policies and standards simplify the creation of an orientation module.
    • The revised approach requires no formal classroom time.
    • The orientation module accommodates varying levels of orientee experience.
    • All PD staff can participate equally as preceptors.

    Conclusions:

    • Well-defined PD policies and standards are foundational for effective staff orientation.
    • An integrated orientation module can be developed with measurable outcomes.
    • Flexible and inclusive orientation programs enhance staff competency in peritoneal dialysis.
    • This model supports consistent and high-quality patient care in PD settings.
