- Abstract
Through a quality improvement project, we developed an initiative that leveraged patient- and community-level data to address health disparities and social vulnerability among patients receiving outpatient dialysis, including both in-center and home modalities. Using the Area Deprivation Index, we identified patients living in areas with the highest levels of deprivation and developed targeted interventions to help address adverse social determinants of health to improve patient health outcomes. Our quality improvement project demonstrates the potential of data-driven approaches to identify and address health disparities in outpatient dialysis, and highlights the importance of addressing social determinants of health in improving patient outcomes.
