Vascular Access Patient Education

Reducing catheter use at a U.S. Renal Care dialysis clinic through patient education.

The problem

Too many dialysis patients relied on catheters rather than permanent access.

My approach

Educated patients on why percutaneous access placement matters, alongside scheduling follow-ups to reduce missed treatments.

The result

Catheter usage fell from 24% to 10%, and missed treatments and absences dropped 18.9%.
