A new approach to operational efficiency for chronic renal dialysis program

Irreversible kidney failure requires either a kidney transplant or renal dialysis treatment. The Federal Government has enacted legislation which provides for the reimbursement of renal dialysis costs. But, the prescribed reimbursement rarely covers the full cost of renal dialysis treatment.
 Under these circumstances, a chronic renal dialysis treatment center must be able to control and minimize operating costs. As labor costs are typically the single most substantial cost and equipment costs are relatively low, it is important to minimize labor through proper staff and patient scheduling and increased equipment utilization.
 Computer simulation is an effective tool which can help establish the most efficient relationship between labor, equipment, scheduling and treatment demand.
