Dialysis Modality Education Timing and Home Dialysis Uptake: A Quality Improvement Study.

Rationale & Objective: Investigating the effect of a quality improvement intervention aimed at enhancing the choice of home dialysis among patients through improved educational sessions on dialysis modalities.

Study Design: A new referral protocol initiated on September 15, 2022, sought to direct patients with advanced kidney disease to modality education sessions. This protocol involved an updated referral form and process, requiring nephrologists to refer patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate below 15 mL/min/1.
