By reviewing both historical and present value-based care models in nephrology, this article showcases the evolution of care delivery and the strategic alignment of health care practices with value-based objectives. We introduce \"HEALTH\" as an innovative blueprint for nephrology nursing leadership, encapsulating key strategies to enhance kidney health care within the framework of value-based models. The acronym HEALTH stands for Holistic Care Integration, Equity and Tailored Care, Analytics and Machine Learning, Leverage Federal Programs, Training and Education, and Habit of Improvement, each representing a cornerstone in the strategic approach to advancing nephrology care. Through this lens, we discuss the impact of nursing leadership in fostering a culture of continuous improvement, leveraging technological advancements, and advocating for comprehensive and equitable patient care.

This article examines the reciprocal association between CKD and depression, with a focus on the increased incidence of depression and the harmful effects of depressive symptoms among patients with CKD. Next, it investigates the role CKD plays as a risk factor for the onset and worsening of depression because symptoms of depression may interfere with the progression of CKD. In addition, it highlights the difficulties in making a suitable diagnosis between CKD progression and depression regarding overlapping symptoms. Finally, it emphasizes the impact of depression on CKD outcomes, and proposes routine screening and non-pharmacological and pharmaceutical therapies to ease this dual burden. It is critical to identify and treat depression in the context of CKD to maximize patient outcomes and promote a comprehensive treatment approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":54363,"journal":{"name":"Nephrology Nursing Journal","volume":"51 2","pages":"165-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140900242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when reviewing current processes to identify and develop evidence-based practices across various health services, a more detailed and planned methodology is required.

To increase home dialysis adoption, programs have successfully operationalized Urgent Start peritoneal dialysis to have patients avoid in-center dialysis and move straight to home. However, Urgent Start home hemodialysis (HHD) has not been a realistic option for providers or patients due to complex machines and long training times (greater than four weeks). The landscape of dialysis treatment is evolving, and innovative approaches are being explored to improve patient outcomes and optimize health care resources. This article delves into the concept of directly transitioning incident patients from hospital admission to HHD, bypassing traditional in-center dialysis training. This forward-thinking approach aims to empower patients, enhance their treatment experience, maximize efficiency, and streamline health care operations.
