Abstract
To facilitate the desired increase in home dialysis utilization in the United States, multiple factors need to be taken into consideration in order to achieve this complex task. Through policy-level facilitators such as the Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative and the expansion of telehealth utilization, adjustments to the existing payment models, providing health equity incentives, increasing number of provider education materials on home therapies, and allaying patient fears with the expansion of home dialysis education nationwide, we have taken several steps in the right direction. There is still a long way to go, and further improvements can be made while utilizing lessons learned from some of our international peers who have been successful in their implementation of large-scale home dialysis programs.
