Voraussetzungen für eine Heimdialyseabteilung - Organisation, Raumbedarf und Trainingsprogramm

Home dialysis basically requires not only a certain amount of self-responsibility but also a comprehensive organisational setup and certain technical and spatial fundamental prerequisites. These include not only a well-trained and motivated team of co-workers consisting of nursing personnel, doctors and technical experts, but also enough space and necessary materials and equipment as well as water treatment setups. First of all it will be necessary to install the electrical and water treatment technicalities in the patient's flat. Of particular importance is an adequate mental and emotional preparation of the patient in view of the stress that the procedure involves and to realise training programmes and to look after him adequately closely and well.
