Hi Lesley
Just curious: when planning these combined units, are the proposing any specific isolation rooms? Many haemodialysis units have isolation rooms, and this does become important for ‘holiday’ haemodialysis. If they are combining haemodialysis with day oncology treatment, then the likelihood of accepting ‘holiday’ dialysis patients in these units (unknown risks of MRO’s) if there are no isolation rooms will probably be even smaller.
I may have this wrong as they may have ‘fixed’ this issue, but it was topical last time I was involved with a dialysis unit.
Cheers
Michael

Yes Rochelle – it seems the combination of the day procedure folk, regardless of risk or vulnerability is occurring in a number of places. I get that this is a convenient and cost effective restructure idea but our concerns lie with a high risk group (haemodialysis) and a very vulnerable group ( oncology) being provided care in this open and close setting. We will be having the conversation around that risk, the MRO situation and will be particularly considering – no shared equipment, Rx chairs or communal and toilet facilities etc. regards Lesley

I’d also be interested in this feedback, as our Exec are looking at doing the same!
I believe other facilities do have this set up

Hi – I am about to have a meeting with our exec and architect to review redevelopment plans that show that haemodialysis and the day oncology unit will be amalgamated. I obviously have concerns about this situation. I would be very interested in hearing thoughts and advice from the group. Thanks Lesley Stewart
