Patients who dialyze at home have more freedom and flexibility to choose the timing and frequency of their treatments. As a result, they have improved quality of life, including lower blood pressure and fewer hospitalizations. With the steady rise of telehealth options, this provides additional resources for patients in rural areas to communicate with their providers regarding their home modality treatment. The network will support ESRD patients, providers, and facilities to achieve the goals set forth by CMS and promote a better quality of life for our patients.



2025-26 National Goals

  • Increase the number of incident ESRD patients using a home modality for dialysis by 30%
  • Increase the number of prevalent ESRD patients moving to a home modality by 18%

Resources & Tools

Our comprehensive resource collection equips dialysis providers with practical tools to increase home modality adoption among patients with ESRD. Featuring staff education modules, patient engagement materials, telemedicine implementation guides, and peer mentorship frameworks, these evidence-based resources address common barriers while helping facilities develop effective home dialysis programs that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
