I’VE ALWAYS LIVED

LIFE ON MY TERMS NO WAY DIALYSIS IS CHANGING THAT!



‘‘

AS SOON AS YOU DO WHAT YOU THINK, AND NOT WHAT SOME OTHER PERSON HAS THOUGHT FOR YOU, YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO DOING THE REMARKABLE. —SIR JAMES MATTHEW BARRIE

’’


‘‘

We live in a world where technology makes it possible for

anything from custom furniture to farm-fresh produce to come to you... including your Dialyze Direct dialysis treatment.

FOR US, IT’S A RELENTLESS COMMITMENT TO

PROTECTING PATIENT DIGNITY AND IMPROVING OUTCOMES

Dealing with dialysis is often as much about the provider as it is the actual treatment. You want more than a provider who simply empathizes with what you and your loved ones are going through, you want a provider who is committed to improving your situation by implementing a more patientcentered level of care.

’’

AT DIALYZE DIRECT, WE BELIEVE PATIENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH DIALYSIS RATHER THAN FOR IT. It’s why we’re all about restoring patient dignity and implementing what is needed to ensure consistently superior outcomes. Revolutionary? Hardly. Numerous studies indicate that improved outcomes are decidedly more likely when emotional elements such as patient dignity are implemented as part of the treatment.

MY DIGNITY'S IN MY HANDS, BECAUSE IT’S MY TREATMENT ON MY TERMS. WILSON BENDER


THANKS TO DIALYZE DIRECT

I’M NOT IN MY BED RECOVERING FROM MY TRIPS TO THE DIALYSIS CENTER. EMILY WINSTORY


The model that defines the business of dialysis is center based which means logistics and transport become part of the treatment process. It also means stress to the system that may affect the patient physically and emotionally.

FOR US, IT’S FINDING A

CURE FOR THE COMMON DIALYSIS TREATMENT

The result? Rather than an immediate return to life, patients often need time to recover from their dialysis treatment and even the basic dignity we take for granted is replaced by a sense of helplessness.

‘‘ PEOPLE

NEVER DOUBT THAT A SMALL GROUP OF THOUGHFUL, COMMITTED

Dialyze Direct was founded by a group of individuals who had the courage to ask Why not? instead of Why?

CAN CHANGE THE WORLD INDEED, IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS. —Margaret Meade

’’

Dialyze Direct was founded by a group of individuals who had the courage to ask “Why not?” instead of “Why?” Choosing to challenge the status quo rather than accept it, was the first step of a journey that began with research to find alternative methods to provide dialysis treatment. Their respect and understanding of the role of enhanced care in the actual treatment inspired renowned nephrologists and other medical and healthcare professionals to join their team. More than attracting like-minded professionals, their passion and professionalism helped form an alliance with NxStage, a well-regarded provider of home dialysis equipment. Aside from providing a much needed solution, this partnership validated their vision that there was a real need for a streamlined, patient-centric treatment model.

BECAUSE OF DIALYZE DIRECT

I’VE GIVEN MY PATIENTS BACK THEIR FREEDOM. SARAH WILLIAMS


FOR US, ONE THING WAS EVIDENT,

‘‘

THE DIRECT APPROACH WAS CLEARLY SUPERIOR DIALYZE DIRECT: BECAUSE IT WAS TIME FOR SOMETHING BETTER

The proverbial next step in an odyssey that’s always been about the search for a better way.

’’

PRECISELY WHY LAUNCHING DIALYZE DIRECT WASN’T A DECISION AS MUCH AS AN INEVITABILITY

It’s this same search that provided the inspiration to look beyond the positive results of their own first-hand experiences and begin implementing data that correlated improved outcomes with improved treatment methodologies—such as eliminating transport and going directly to the patient’s home or residence. As the treatment was administered in the comfort of home and the patient wasn’t subjected to or recovering from the stresses of transport —a more curated level of care was possible. Blood work, nutrition, medications and emotional and physical wellness were easier to monitor, review, and when necessary, modify. NxSTAGE SYSTEM ONE


‘‘ SENSE OF

WHILE IT’S A COLLABORATIVE

This is a team that’s only accountable to their patients and their caregivers.

While decisions are evaluated from multiple angles and disciplines, they are ultimately made based on their ability to improve outcomes—not just bottom lines. Some would call it a game changer or disruptor, but the Dialyze Direct team prefers something simpler: “Just Better”.

PURPOSE THAT SETS US APART, IT’S A SINGLE, ALMOST RELENTLESS VISION THAT HAS BROUGHT THE DIALYZE DIRECT TEAM TOGETHER
