Unplanned health events tend to be the costliest. That’s why we inform and engage people early on and use data and advanced analytics to identify those who:
• Have the disease already
• Are at risk of progressing to end-stage renal disease
This proactive approach can lower costs while resulting in fewer
health-related events, fewer hospital days and less unplanned dialysis.
The HemoCare Hemodialysis System* is the subject of a clinical trial. The trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device for administration of home hemodialysis. The device includes safety features and is designed to make home hemodialysis simple for patients. Home hemodialysis helps facilitate longer, more frequent dialysis treatments as compared to in-center treatments, and published clinical research has found that longer, more frequent hemodialysis treatments result in better health outcomes in appropriate patient populations.1,2,3 The clinical trial of up to 70 patients will be conducted at up to 10 sites in the United States.
Whether you’re already using a home treatment or going to a clinic, it’s always helpful to explore your options. The best place to start is by talking to your doctor and letting them know you’re interested. They may already know how to refer you to the program. But if not, just ask them to check our website for information.
If you’re interested in referring patients, you must be credentialed with us.
