Functional Outcomes

Functional status of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients is assessed through the use of the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey. The questionnaire contains 36 items that measure eight dimensions: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical problems; social functioning, bodily pain, general mental health, role limitations due to emotional problems, vitality, and general health perceptions. Data management and analysis are performed and results are reported to the clinics quarterly.

Patient Satisfaction

The DCI Clinic Report Card patient satisfaction survey is a tool designed to assess the patient's perception about the care they receive, and to evaluate the interpersonal aspects of patient care. The questionnaire addresses the following issues: patient autonomy; patient education; staff concern, support, and professionalism; scheduling; and overall quality of care and services.
