Home Dialysis in the United States: A Roadmap for Increasing Peritoneal Dialysis Utilization
Expanding treatment modalities available to patients with kidney failure is now a priority in the United States. On July 10, 2019, a presidential executive order launched the Advancing American Kidney Health initiative, establishing a goal of 80% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with either home dialysis or kidney transplantation by 2025. Following this, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed the ESRD Treatment Choices model and described several voluntary models to incentivize kidney health, home dialysis, and kidney transplantation.
