Overcoming Inequity in Access to Kidney Transplantation: A Quality Improvement Project.

Background: In 2018, DaVita dialysis clinics in Poland introduced a new pathway to improve the referral of dialysis patients for kidney transplantation. It was designed to meet formal requirements for timely referral for transplant assessment and measures to have the patient "active" on the waiting list. The pathway aimed to mitigate the existing inequitable access to transplantation surgery for patients with end stage kidney disease under the care of ambulatory dialysis clinics.
