Patient Safety - While Continuing Treatment - Is A Top Priority During COVID-19
Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The Illinois Kidney Care Alliance (IKCA) brings together health advocates and professionals, community and patient groups, health providers and businesses focused on raising awareness about patients who suffer from kidney disease. The COVID-19 pandemic presents new challenges to the nation’s kidney health. Some 20 to 40 percent of I.C.U. patients suffering from coronavirus develop kidney failure and require emergency dialysis, the New York Times reported. Yet while this crisis unfolds, it remains crucial – indeed, vital – for dialysis patients to continue their treatments. The increase in patients means a greater need for dialysis services, and some of those affected may need assistance getting to their appointments. During the commute, patients and transportation providers should take all necessary precautions – washing hands, wearing masks and sanitizing commonly used surfaces, including car seats and door handles. Individuals should also maintain and practice social distancing as much as possible during these rides. IKCA urges dialysis patients to stay safe during these unprecedented times.
