Applying mortality data to improve emergency care planning for haemodialysis patients: a quality improvement project by Lisa Tang, Usha Appalsawmy

“…Cases involving cardiac arrest underwent further analysis, examining factors including their Clinical Frailty Score4 and the presence of a ReSPECT form.2 This review identified the underutilisation of ReSPECT forms in frail haemodialysis patients.Phase 2: we expanded the review of ReSPECT form use beyond cardiac arrest cases to include all haemodialysis patients who underwent an SJR in the same time frame, thus providing a broader perspective on ReSPECT form usage within the whole cohort.Phase 3: an intervention in the form of a departmental educational campaign, emphasising the high mortality rate among frail haemodialysis patients and, thus, the importance of advance care planning, was carried out. …”
