Improving nursing care and outcomes for patients living with end-stage renal disease [Symposium]
Abstract
Globally, two million patients are undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease. Hemodialysis patients have higher morbidity and mortality associated with adverse events and a complex treatment regimen. This symposium explores patient, provider, and system factors that can be leveraged to decrease adverse events, readmission, and improve symptom management and quality-of-life.
