The organization and management of a pediatric dialysis unit is a multi-faceted endeavor which requires a unique mindset and perspective for services provided. The environment of care is not an outpatient clinic or a critical care ward, but rather a merging of the two. Providing safe and effective patient care that enhances the life experiences of patients, their families, and staff is the ultimate goal of care and treatment in the pediatric dialysis unit. This chapter will review operational management – culture, organization, regulatory, physical space, human factors influences, and staffing – as well as components of care implementation, modality selection, patient/family education, patient care plans, patient/family support, quality improvement, infection prevention, and safety. |
