[ Summary ] | As dialysis physicians, we must search for further quality improvements for dialysis therapy and must establish criteria for dialysis facilities by which they can be also be evaluated by third parties. The Japanese Association for Dialysis Physicians performed a nation-wide self-evaluation survey of dialysis facilities in 2003. In this paper, the results obtained from that survey will be analyzed and various problems the facilities face at present will be noted. |
