Study Summary

More than 80% of individuals in the U.S. start maintenance hemodialysis (HD) with a central venous catheter, despite substantial evidence that starting HD with an arteriovenous (AV) access improves quality of life, lowers mortality, and decreases healthcare costs. Health system- and patient-level barriers contribute to low rates of AV access creation prior to HD initiation. Evidence-based, pre-dialysis interventions to improve these low rates and associated clinical outcomes are lacking. A Vascular Access Navigation and Education Quality Improvement Program will be implemented in the Geisinger Danville, PA chronic kidney disease clinic. Individuals who choose to participate in a research sub-study of the program will complete questionnaires to assess their vascular access care knowledge and confidence before and after participation in the quality improvement program.

Primary Outcome

Patient confidence in ability to navigate the vascular access creation process. Measured using 3 team-developed confidence questions (score range: 1-10). Higher scores reflect higher confidence in navigating vascular access care.
