Cost Effective and Reduced Hospitalization
PD is cost-effective and offers significant financial benefits
Dialysis patients are 1% of the Medicare population, and yet account for 7% of Medicare budget1
- With rising health care costs, prioritizing PD can lower health care expenditure without compromising patient-centered outcomes
PD is significantly less costly than ICHD, allowing centers to deliver on financial performance targets
- 94% of published studies across 46 countries demonstrated PD to be less costly than HD2
- PD requirements for provider infrastructure are less than those of HD2
PD allows centers to accelerate home therapy growth without the infrastructure restrictions or capital investment associated with ICHD
APD with Remote Patient Management (RPM) has been demonstrated to reduce hospitalization rates up to 40%3 lowering resource utilization and costs
RPM with Sharesource enables reduced hospitalization3,4 which allow hospitals and clinics to reduce costs and redirect resources4
Associated with lower hospitalization rates and fewer hospitalisation days3
A retrospective cohort study including 360 patients with a mean age of 57 years (diabetes 42.5%) initiating APD between 1 October 2016 and 30 June 2017 in Baxter Renal Care Services (BRCS) units in Columbia
Potentially lowers resource utilization and costs4
