摘要
People with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving dialysis require monthly blood testing and annual registry data collection. Consent for these tests and data collection has historically been verbal. Accreditation surveys prompted a decision to review consent processes within this large Australian renal service. A quality initiative was introduced, requiring written consent for ESKD treatment including dialysis, data collection and blood tests. Medical staff complete an ESKD treatment consent form including consent for routine pathology with all new patients, to the renal unit. Feedback regarding the implementation of this quality initiative from both medical and nursing staff has been positive.
