Medicare Publishes New Information on Quality of Care at Dialysis Facilities
Changes to Web Site Will Help Consumers Compare Care and Make
Informed Health Care Choices
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today announced important additions to the Dialysis Facility Compare consumer Web site (http://www.medicare.gov/dialysis) that will give consumers even better insight into the quality of care provided by their local dialysis patient facilities.
The improvements include two new quality measures that demonstrate how well dialysis patients are treated for anemia (low red blood cell count) as well as updated information that will help patients better understand survival rates by facility.
