Speaking of staying at home 🏠... let’s not forget that #AdvancingAmericanKidneyHealth (AAKH) aims to have 80% of people with kidney failure use a home dialysis modality or obtain a transplant by 2025. Do you know how close we are to that goal?

As of December 2017, the USRDS reported 38% of people with kidney failure (or end stage renal disease/ESRD) in the United States were either on peritoneal dialysis (PD), home hemodialysis (HD), or had a functioning kidney transplant. What’s the breakdown of each modality?

By and large, that 38% is made up of transplant - 30% of all ESRD patients have a functioning kidney transplant. Only 7% are on PD, and 1.3% are on home HD. The rest of our patients (~ 61%) receive in-center HD.

Starting Jan 2020 half of #nephrology groups in the US will be assigned to the CMS Kidney Care First (KCF) accountable care model.
If you’re picked you HAVE TO participate, but can opt to switch to one of the other #KCC (Kidney Care Choices) models:

The other payment models (Comprehensive Kidney Care Contracting #CKCC options) vary in amount of risk the neph practice is willing to take on for care of the #CKD patient.
This is at the level of the #nephrology practice NOT at the dialysis unit.
