In hemodialysis (HD)‚ blood is shunted through an artificial kidney (dialyzer) for removal of toxins/excess fluid and then returned to the venous circulation. Hemodialysis is a fast and efficient method for removing urea and other toxic products and correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances but requires permanent arteriovenous access. Procedure is usually performed three times per week for 4 hrs. Hemodialysis may be done in the hospital‚ outpatient dialysis center‚ or at home. Nursing Care Plans Learn more

Houston Dialysis Center 1. I do not find it “fair” for the Dialysis Center to suffer in profit and hence at the idea that Linda may lose her bonus at the expense of the Outpatients Clinic. I believe here you have the perfect opportunity to distribute allocation to both the Dialysis Center and Outpatients Clinic in order to see a net profit from the additional space of the Outpatient Clinic.
