  • Quality improvement programs that include feedback for improving local PD and HHD adoption rates and specific centre targets
Funding
  • Funding for a formal caregiver (nurse) to provide full-care HD or PD at home
  • Funding for nurse-assisted HHD to assist patients specifically with cannulation
  • Funding for utility costs (electricity, water) for HHD
Policy
  • Policies for mandatory modality education for all patients approaching dialysis (all patients are offered the opportunity to receive HHD or PD).
