Project Description:
Project Scope: Home dialysis rates in Fraser South are ~10% lower than Fraser North and Fraser East. Work has been done to identify the barriers to why the rates are lower in the south. A recommendation that has come out our working group is to bring an expert into improve communication between staff and our renal patient population. Patients that start on in center dialysis with no previous education, can be overwhelmed and can have limited understanding of what is going on with their health. The conversations that our team members have with these patients are difficult but also necessary. Bringing in an expert into help train staff in having meaningful conversations, using impactful phrases and truly assessing patients on an individual level can help the transition to home modality be more desirable. The expectation is that, by using common sales techniques to introduce home modalities, while building a trusting relationship with patients, can help make patients more confident in making a decision to dialyze at home.
Objective: Bring on customer experience strategist/consultant to provide tools and resources to our staff to “sell” home dialysis to patients. Using trigger words/phrases, building trust and communicating effectively with these patients is important.
Timeline: Our goal is to have the first set of sessions completed in February.
