Value‐Based Model for Vascular Access Management in the End‐Stage Kidney Disease Population

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a value-based model for managing vascular access in patients with end-stage kidney disease.
• Prioritizing reduction of catheter exposure
• Tailoring usage of AVF (arteriovenous fistula) and AVG (arteriovenous graft) based on patient risk
• Integrating peritoneal dialysis where appropriate
• Employing selective imaging and monitoring
• Organizing multidisciplinary access teams focused on quality and cost
• Enhanced patient-centered care through tailored vascular access solutions
• Potential reduction in complications associated with catheter use
• Improved efficiency and effectiveness in managing vascular access
