A Blueprint for Planning Person-Centered Dialysis Care

The quality of dialysis care is currently measured by such variables as adequacy, fluid and blood pressure, access type, anemia, and mineral and bone disease. Focusing primarily on such objective measures and their associated incentives reinforces a disease-centered approach to care that often diverts attention from the experience and priorities of dialysis patients.1 Beyond providing clinically appropriate dialysis, delivering person-centered care should be emphasized.2 This holistic paradigm seeks to individualize treatment by bearing in mind that each patient is unique, with their own cultural identity, role in a community and family, and distinct set of strengths and challenges.
