8 Comparison of ini/al and running costs Model case in Japan Facility: 40 dialysis beds, 80 chronic dialysis pa/ents Dialysis prescrip/on: 3 /mes/w, 4 hours/session, Dialysate flow rate: 500mL/min. Es/mated cost (Dialysis machines, Control system) CDDS Single Pa7ent system Ini7al 1,228,000 US$ 1,250,000 US$ Running 244,000 US$ 341,000 US$

9 Pro s and Con s in CDDS Pro s Economical Easy daily prepara/on of dialysis fluid Easy control of dialysis fluid quality Easy daily maintenance (disinfec/on of dialysis machines and en/re dialysis fluid loop) Con s Choice of only one dialysis fluid to all pa/ents More /me required in emergent shutdown

10 CDDS in Interna/onal Standard ISO 23500: Guidance for the prepara/on and quality management of fluids for hemodialysis and related therapies Annex B: Equipment B.7 Central dialysis fluid storage and delivery systems B.7.1 General B.7.2 Design and maintenance B.7.3 Dialysis fluid storage B.7.4 Materials compa/bility

11 Na/onal Licensed Clinical Engineers Clinical engineer (CE) Established in 1987 A unique license Educa/on University (4yrs) or academy (3yrs) Master course (2yrs), Doctor course (3yrs) Work place Opera/ng room, Dialysis room, Cardiac catheteriza/on room, Hyperbaric oxygena/on room, ICU, HCU, NICU, Emergency room, and the hospital ward.

12 A dialysis technician - is a medical professional that has been cer/fied to operate dialysis equipment and assist pa/ents while they are receiving dialysis. - has decreased dialysis machines failure which exposes pa/ents to poten/ally harmful risks.

13 Business Opera/ons Maintenance -Dialysis machines Other medical devices Dialysis fluid -Prepara/on, quality control Construc/on -Dialysis management system -Electronic medical records

14 Dialysis session work as a daily rou/ne job Puncturing blood vessels Opera/ng dialysis machines Checking pa/ents vital signs and monitoring dialysis machines A team approach to pa/ent care Data analysis Evalua/on of dialysis efficacy Evalua/on of arteriovenous fistula

15 Team approach for dialysis pa/ents Nutri/onal support Dialysis access care QOL monitoring Foot care Oral care Psycho-nephrology Social support Pa/ent friendly dialysis

16 Dialysis management system Automa7c (Transmission) Magne/c card Pa/ent's body weight Automa7c (Capture) Dialysis management system Weight Dialyzer Medicine Injec/on Dialysis fluid Dialysis record Automa7c Crea/on of dialysis record Crea/on of therapeu/c cost Dialysis management system Vital on a pa/ent Medicine informa/on

17 Development of informa/on technology The Electronic medical record (EMR) The EMR system electronically records the consulta/on data of an individual so as to display these data as needed. The EMR system improves the quality of pa/ent care and decreases medical errors.

18 Coordina/on 1: Dialysis management system Environment for safety in treatment 2: Electronic medical records Sharing of pa/ent informa/on among departments Those systems are necessary to linking the dialysis management system to electronic medical records

19 Linking the dialysis management system to electronic medical records- MAP Electronic medical records Dialysis management system Remote maintenance Electronic medical records server WEB server Dialysis management system server Remote maintenance The electronic medical record terminal

20 The coopera/on of each system Accoun/ng system Electronic medical records Dialysis management system Patient registration Patient attribute Ⅰ.

24 Survey of medical accidents in hemodialysis treatment A study of medical accidents and the composi/on of a malprac/ce countermeasure manual regarding hemodialysis treatment (1999) total 21,457cases Cri/cal cases others Mechanical error Hospital Infec/on Input error Dialysate Medica/on error BTF error Injec/on and BTF error (372) (184) (6) (560) (1,298) (1,214) (1,792) quan/ty of responses 1,586/3,073 ins/tutes collec/on rate : 51.6% (4,146) (5,442) about 40 Bleeding inclusion of air Needling error (370) (3,878) (2,195) %

25 The number of human errors Yabuki group total number of cases Order Error Medica/on Error 4 Inpuqng Error 0 Oct 0 Nov Dec Jan 12 Feb 1 2 Install the link EMR and Dialysis Management System

26 Benefits of the system linkage Secure refrac/on of physicians order Human error preven/on Pa/ent informa/on sharing with other staff Efficient work and labor-saving A batch of data can be sent (prescrip/on informa/on and treatment record to EMS) Paperless environment No need for medical clerks Physician can make or change the order from any PC Preven/on of medical billing error

27 Problems of the system linkage Needs some /me to learn opera/on methods Manual prepara/on, Hold training sessions Running cost High cost of establishing the system linkage Maintenance cost for the each system High cost of adding a program and customizing it Slowdown of the PCs caused by data storage

28 Is Japan method GALAPAGOS? GALAPAGOS Cellphone Pa/ent friendly dialysis? light automobile 28

29 Conclusion The Japan-method dialysis system is a pa/ent friendly team approach. The central dialysis fluid delivery system (CDDS) and na/onal licensed clinical engineer (CE) system are the keys to the success of Japan-method dialysis. The linkage of EMR and the dialysis management system is effec/ve in providing the pa/ents with safe and smooth hemodialysis treatment. We hope that our dialysis method improves the QOL of many dialysis pa/ents throughout the world. 29
