Ïã¸Û¼«ËÙ²Ê Patient-Focused Quality Pyramid
The extensive tools and initiatives built into the Ïã¸Û¼«ËÙ²Ê Patient-Focused Quality Pyramid (published in ) support physicians in focusing on generating optimal clinical outcomes and enhanced patient quality of life. The pyramid serves as a framework for physicians to address the complex factors that affect patients, such as mortality, hospitalizations and the patient experience.
- The Fundamentals involve key clinical metrics that we work continuously to achieve for every patient as a foundation for their health.
- Our Complex Programs— as part of an integrated, patient-centered care approach— are designed to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital.
- We measure the effectiveness of our complex programs through decreased hospitalizations, improved survival and a great patient experience.
- From this clinical foundation we aim to realize a better health-related quality of life for our patients, in which they can enjoy more special moments in their lives and with their loved ones.

In-Center Hemodialysis
Many patients need, or prefer to receive, in-center dialysis because of the high level of interaction and support they receive from the dialysis team.

Peritoneal Dialysis
PD may improve outcomes, including longer survival, reduced hospitalizations and morbidities, and lower costs compared with in-center dialysis.
