PY - 2021 T2 - Handbook of Home Hemodialysis AB - The goal of every home hemodialysis (HHD) program should be to provide safe, quality care; this cannot be accomplished without routine monitoring. Monitoring involves the systematic observation of particular parameters in order to discover disease, adverse outcomes, or risk factors or to assess interventions aimed at treatment, prevention, or reduction of risk. In this chapter, we will begin by discussing three basic questions involved in monitoring. We will then focus on population monitoring in an HHD unit as exemplified through the quality assurance and improvement (QAI) process, and lastly, we will discuss examples of individual patient monitoring utilizing recommendations from national guidelines.
