Abstract
The organization and management of pediatric dialysis facilities has undergone many changes over the past decade. We continue to be in a rapidly changing environment with continual technological and treatment advancements. At the same time, we are experiencing new challenges with staffing shortages and government/economical restraints. Despite our rapidly changing environment, the goal of meeting patient and family needs and promoting the quality of care necessary to maintain optimal patient outcomes remains unchallenged and is universal. The development of a dialysis facility program must be carefully planned and organized to meet this goal. Essential program elements discussed in this chapter include unit culture and organization, physical design, and facility operations, which includes patient care services, and material management.
