HEALTH CARE TODAY


Heritage Publishing, Inc. © 2012 all patient care and staff adherence to


facility policies and procedures. The overall facility management is the responsibility of the clinic manager or administrator. Every facility is required to have a full-time nurse manager, who is a registered nurse, responsible for the patients’ well-being and patient outcomes. There is usually a charge nurse responsible for the clinical and nursing activities in the treatment area on a daily basis. Staff nurses and patient care technicians perform the direct patient care and administer the dialysis treatments. Due to recent changes to federal regulations, all patient care technicians (PCT) must now be nationally or state-certified. The PCT is required to go through a training program specific to dialysis and is required to have continuing renal education credits to keep their certification current. Licensed, registered dietitians are on staff to assist with the dietary instruction for the patient and family members. Masters prepared social workers are also available to assist with the psycho-social aspects of chronic renal failure and help patients deal with the problems and needs related to CKD. A technical manager, who is responsible for the equipment function and maintenance, water treatment, supply ordering and facility maintenance is also on the team. Ultimately, the most important member of the team is the patient. Without the patient’s involvement, all efforts of the team would be in vain. The patient must comply with treatment times, diet, medications, etc. and is responsible for his or her own care.


When considering a dialysis center, look


for a comfortable and clean environment. Ask about the frequency of physicians’ visits to the facility. Also, look for advanced technology, such as the latest Fresenius dialysis machines. Ask about the experience of the nurses and other employees. Make sure those caring for you are easy to talk with and compassionate toward the patients they treat.
