PATIENT SELECTION Objectives Understand the relationship between social, clinical, and patient preference in selecting a dialysis treatment option How the relationship of the HCT influences patient choice The importance of early referrals and education

2005 CMS started the discussion of updating the Conditions for Coverage for ESRD in February, first time since 1976 Final Rule published in April 15, 2008 494.70 Patients Rights & Responsibilities 494.80 Patients must be assessed by the IDT for suitability for various dialysis modalities including transplant and that this must be reviewed annually

INFORMED PATIENT Clinical guidelines in United States as well as Europe and Asia, recommend treatment options education for CKD patients, to achieve a fully informed patient regarding Modality Transplant Palliative care
PATIENT SELECTION The low incidence of patients on Home Therapies suggest that patients Don t receive adequate education Do not have adequate time to discuss the management of their disease with family and care givers
PATIENT SELECTION British Qualitative Study of Modality Selection 2010 18 studies reviewed 375 patients & 2005-2008 14 on modality options 3 transplant 1 palliative care
PATIENT SELECTION Awareness associated with decision making in the treatment of CKD to provide healthcare professionals the insights into how to best: provide the education necessary Enhance communication Improve patient and family involvement in the decision making
PATIENT SELECTION
PATIENT SELECTION Mortality ( choosing life/ death) Understanding that they had life threatening disease Not wanting to be a burden to family Not living in limbo
PATIENT SELECTION Lack of choice Perceived lack of choice as clinicians didn t give them all the options Lack of resources Medical contradictions
PATIENT SELECTION Lack of information 18 studies indicated patients were not educated on treatment options by healthcare professionals Peers Lack of resources ( support) Timing of information After hospitalization
PATIENT SELECTION Lack of knowledge ( US) Insurance coverage No desire to discuss living donor transplant with friends and family
PATIENT SELECTION Netherlands 1,347 patients 36% contraindications to home therapies 64% made their choice based on preference Age was a factor elderly Lived alone Had more comorbidities
PATIENT SELECTION Self-Management Patients were actively encouraged towards selfmanagement; most likely picked transplant home therapy
PATIENT SELCTION Staff Education Direct experience with Home Therapies
PATIENT SELECTION Winning hearts and minds is first step in this patient pathway to relative freedom Hutchison
PATIENT SELECTION Healthcare team bias 2006, HCW stated 46% patient would do well on Home Therapies Leaving the choice to HCP doesn t work Ease in placing a patient on HD Time-consuming to discuss & educate patients on Home Hemodialysis & PD
PATIENT SELECTION Staff Education Staff must be convinced that home therapies is a viable option & benefits the patient All staff must have the ethos of home therapies Physicians Nurses MSW Dieticians PCT
PATIENT SELECTION Patient Education Patients who have adequate preparation chose home therapy option Education can not default to listing facts, but give recommendations once the patient has accepted the change in their lives Stages of Change Model

PATIENT SELECTION Staff must have experience & confidence in the therapy Staff must develop a trust relationship Staff must engage the patient in conversation about: Freedom Independence Safety Quality & quanity of life
PATIENT SELECTION DMMS study 3794 patients in the US were analized 48.4% chose PD 51.6% chose HD
PD White Young females Older males Physically active Insurance Married Less comorbidities Higher education independent PATIENT SELECTION
PD Early referrals to nephrologist More nephrologist offive visits Pre-ESRD education More involved in decision making Less BMI PATIENT SELECTION
PATIENT SELECTION Early referrals More interaction with nephrologist More Pre-ESRD education Patients were two times more likely to chose PD if they were counseled and seen more frequently
PATIENT SELECTION Late referrals Patient with late referrals and education were more like to chose HD and had poor recall of receiving education Patients with more comorbidities were less likely to be referred for Pre-ESRD education
PATIENT SELECTION Treatment Options Maintain current lifestyle Considered family & friends opinions Pathways towards self-management
PATIENT SELECTION Conclusion of studies Modality education must begin sooner ( GFR<30) Must take into account patients preferences to life style in the education Must include Behavioral Interviewing techniques to assist the patient in accepting Pathway to Change Must be repeated by confident, knowledgeable staff Must be timely When possible include peers
PATIENT SELECTION Maintaining lifestyle Less concerned with the outcome as quality of life Staying employed Raising children ( grandchildren) Social life Minimizing the disruption to usual activities
CAPD BENEFITS Portable do it anywhere Flexible suit your own schedule Time fewer trips to the clinic Easy learn it in a week or two No needles avoid needle sticks Less restrictive easier diet CCPD BENEFITS Portable do it anywhere Convenient have your days free Easy learn it in a week or two No needles avoid needle sticks Less restrictive easier diet Routine feel healthy, not sick Time fewer trips to the clinic HOME DIALYSIS
CONVENTIONAL HHD 3x/week with similar machines used in our clinics Uses portable RO or DI for water treatment in the home Can be accomplished staffassisted if no partner/caregiver available As with incenter HD, the AV fistula is the preferred access BENEIFITS HHD Flexible plan your own schedule, keep your job Control eat, drink, and have visitors Access lasts longest because you insert your own needles Time fewer trips to the clinic HOME DIALYSIS
SHORT DAILY DIALYSIS Treatments are generally 2.5-3 hours long 5-6 days a week AV Fistula is the preferred access and buttonhole cannulation is common due to increased treatment times BENEFITS OF SHHD Flexible plan your own schedule, keep your job Quality get more dialysis to feel better Control eat, drink, and have visitors Access lasts longest because you insert your own needles Less restrictive easier diet Time fewer trips to the clinic HOME DIALYSIS
NOCTURNAL HHD May be done with a partner or through external monitoring Treatments are 6-8 hours each 3+ days a week Water treated with portable RO or DI Av fistula is access of choice BENEFITS OF NOCTURAL HHD Convenient have your days free Quality get 2-5 times as much dialysis Gentle easy on your heart Feel better more energy, libido, and appetite Less restrictive easier diet, fewer drugs HOME DIALYSIS
PATIENT SELECTION Strong need for independence and control of own care Motivation and willingness to set up a safe area in their home for treatment Ability to learn and apply theory, principles, and practical procedures Active lifestyle employed or desire to stay active
PATIENT SELECTION Distance from dialysis facility Limited mobility/capability Nursing home patients for example Frail/elderly patients especially if they have a motivated caregiver to assist
MEDICAL INDICATION FOR HOME Any new ESRD patient with severe cardiovascular disease Reduction in dialysis-associated symptoms A patient whose blood pressure is not well controlled with medications
MEDICAL INDICATIONS FOR PD Patients with hemodialysis access failure or fear of needles Diabetic patients No vascular access required Blood sugar can be well-controlled even though sugar is the base of PD solution
MEDICAL INDICATIONS HHD Large/obese; conventional HD and PD are not adequate Pregnant or who desire to be pregnant Diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), amyloidosis, or uncontrolled hypertension
PATIENT SELECTION Conclusions Options education when GFR < 30 Include peers in the education process Take patient s lifestyle into account Be provided by experience and confident teams
PATIENT SELECTION Health care teams need to create pathways to include transplant and palliative care as options as well as home therapies
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR HOME THERAPIES? The most important factor that determines if a patient is successful doing Home Therapies is their motivation
