Dialysis Patients in Acute Care Settings: Mitigating Risks, Managing Costs, and Promoting Patient Safety

December 06, 2021

How can hospitals improve care for patients on dialysis in emergent settings? In this episode, Gina Sharkey and Tana Waack, two long-time registered nurses and co-vice presidents of Inpatient Services at Fresenius Kidney Care, tackle that question. Gina and Tana unpack the critical role of Inpatient Services and stress the importance of having a team specialized in dialysis therapy to improve quality of care across the board. They share a plethora of examples for how Inpatient Services teams are instrumental to mitigating patient risk in hospitals, particularly during crises.
