The Dialyze Direct care model brings point-of-care assisted home hemodialysis services to those with End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) who reside in skilled nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and private home settings.  We developed a proprietary, customized model of care that utilizes an advanced type of technollogy built around more frequent, but gentler and shorter hemodialysis treatments. We made this treatment option available to the elderly and frail who, among all dialysis patients, stand to benefit the most from this mode of therapy.  Improved quality of life and improved outcomes are achieved with significant overall cost savings.

The elderly and frail dialysis patient has multiple comorbidities, particularly with respect to their cardiovascular system. More frequent hemodialysis achieves cardiovascular benefits that result in fewer hospitalizations, re-hospitalizations, reduction in antihypertensive medications, and, even, regression of certain cardiac pathologies. This gentler form of therapy permits rapid recovery from a dialysis session in less than 2 hours instead of the nearly 8-18 hours typical of traditional dialysis therapy.  The rapid post-dialysis recovery time greatly improves the quality of life not only by permitting more participation in rehabilitation and social activities but also by eliminating hours of travel, missed meals, and long waits for transportation to arrive.  Further, the point-of-care service permits high-level coordination of care between the skilled nursing facility staff and the dialysis staff.

Point-of-care service eliminates the cost of transportation to a dialysis facility.  These transportation costs, can, at times, exceed the cost of the actual dialysis treatment.  Medicare hospitalization costs account for more than a quarter of Medicare expenditures.

Point-of-care service eliminates the cost of transportation to a dialysis facility.  These transportation costs, can, at times, exceed the cost of the actual dialysis treatment.  Medicare hospitalization costs account for more than a quarter of Medicare expenditures. Elderly ESKD hospitalization rates and 30-day readmission rates (>40%) far exceed the general Medicare population. In fact, 7% of Medicare expenditures are allocated to the 1% of the Medicare population with ESKD. The expansion of this more frequent, gentler, and more effective form of dialysis therapy to the elderly has improved outcomes and quality of life and has dramatically reduced hospitalization and medication costs.
