Our original degree table for hemodialysis nursing can be precisely understood in relation to degree of patient illness and is effective for accident prevention. At this time, we are inspecting the usage and merit of the table in different types of dialysis nursing. We examined the practical use of and developments in nursing care in relation to degree table for hemodialysis nursing. Nurses with over three years experience were questioned over a three to five year period, concerning hemodialysis nursing. This information resulted in a new manual. Nurses with 3 years of experience had the goal of creating a care plan to immediately treat patients for whom of medium level nursing care is necessary. Nurses with five years experience took charge of the most seriously ill patients, prompting assessments where quick care is needed. By using the nursing the degree table for hemodialysis, they were able to evaluate degree of illness and a classification by themselves. In addition, this method helps to develop new types of education and management.

This is possible even if the person in charge is switched, and care can be maintained.
